A video recording of a celebrated female police officer Doris Wako, who shot in the limelight for sheltering and feeding street kids, decrying harassment by her bosses has emerged on social media.

In the video, Wako is heard lamenting over being frustrated by her seniors who she did not mention by name or rank.

"What wrong have I done to the police? Let me stay here with these street kids, so long as there is food, God will see us through. But, police bosses have ruined the lives of these kids," she said.

"Whatever you have done to me you have ruined the lives of these street kids," she added.

Wako is a widow who has been spending her time off duty to attend to the needs of over 50 kids she has adopted.

The incident comes barely a month after another female police officer went viral on social media complaining about sexual harassment and unfair treatment.

The officer attached to Traffic Department in Mombasa said she had tendered several resignation letters but none had gone through.

Her case attracted the attention of the police Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai who ordered a probe into the matter.

The police boss later revealed that the officer was under probe.
