He first questioned why the police officers were wearing masks to conceal their faces, saying it did not demonstrate goodwill.
“Even our national anthem preaches peace and brotherhood, but you officers don’t see us as your brothers. Why are you killing us? Why don’t you want us to do what we came here for in peace? Children were shot dead here, yet you people are not even ashamed. This is wrong,” he said.

Why did Jomo Kenyatta lookalike curse police officer?
Ngige went on to claim that the police were intimidating citizens who were armed only with Kenyan flags and white handkerchiefs.
He then shifted his attention to one police officer, alleging that he had insulted an elderly man.
The former president’s lookalike angrily cursed the officer over his alleged actions as the policeman laughed in response.
“I am cursing you. Your life will not be good. You will suffer, I am telling you the truth, and you are laughing. You laugh because you think you are powerful, but I want to tell you that this is not power. That is why you insult elderly people. You will suffer all your life. Respect your elders,” he said while pointing at the officer.

“Na ivo ndio police forces wamelaaniwa na Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Cursing younger generations when I get older is also in my bucket list, siwezi waacha hivo tu.”
Abdulkarimnambiru:
“There’s no way this guy just looks like Jomo Kenyatta by chance. Welcome to Kenya, where a young man is called Babu Owino and an old man is called Kijana Wamalwa.”
Remboshopbyjojo:
“Usijali Mzee Jomo Kenyatta… wewe unaishi Parliament, yeye tuliambiwa anaishi kwa kikombe. Angalieni kama kaburi iko wazi ya Mzee J. Kenyatta, naona kama amefufuka.”
