Slum residents ordered to do press-ups during raid on illicit brew


Paramilitary officers swept through Mathare slums on Tuesday in a crackdown on illicit brew.

The raid was however characterised by odd punishments meted to residents and bystanders.

The officers ordered the residents to do press-ups as punishment, while others were told to carry their bicycles aloft with one hand.

The knuckle press-ups were done on a tarmac road that was drenched by a morning drizzle.
