Gloria Ntazola, the woman at the center of a widely circulated video where she accused a Nairobi city county officer of unauthorized entry into her vehicle, has conveyed her lack of remorse regarding the incident. In a recent interview with NTV Kenya, she expressed her willingness to repeat her actions if faced with a similar situation.
During the interview, Gloria firmly stated, “I don’t feel any remorse, I am not sorry. If they repeat, I’ll still carry them in my car and take them wherever I need to.” She accused the Kanjo askaris of a consistent pattern of harassing Kenyan citizens without providing adequate explanations for their actions.
Ntazola contended that as long as she believes she is acting in accordance with the law, she harbors no regrets for her actions. She added that 99 percent of the individuals who have reached out to her through phone calls and social media have supported her and commended her actions. In her opinion, the overwhelming public support indicates a need for the officers involved to learn from the incident.
According to Ntazola, she operates two businesses in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) and routinely visits the city to monitor her enterprises. She emphasized that she has consistently met her parking fee obligations. However, on the day of the dramatic confrontation, four Kanjo askaris approached her without a clear reason.
She recounted the situation, saying, “When I arrived in town around 3 pm, I found a parking space near Jeevanjee Gardens. While I was attempting to park my car, four individuals approached me, and two of them entered my vehicle. They promptly informed me that I was in the wrong.”
Ntazola asserted her refusal to be intimidated and stated her willingness to transport the officer for a longer journey to make him understand the consequences of entering a vehicle without consent and to deter harassment of motorists.
“An innocent person like me, who is trying to make a living, should not have her car entered without her permission, especially when she hasn’t committed any offense. The Kanjo officers should focus on dealing with serious criminals,” she emphasized.
