Any useless lawyer would win this one. That's why even the police could not come up with anything other than disturbing the peace.

He'll say Shell aka Vivo are targeting his station because they want to give it to Polycap's buddies.

Trespass is an issue. Unlimited access to a station does not mean going in and trashing property with hired goons. That's private property and his rights rule over any rights that Shell may have on that property. They have to follow the law.

Polycap shall say he didn't see any court order and it was not served to him. Which is mute in this case when you see him telling his hired goons to come destroy someone's property.

All I saw was a fat CEO of a multinational that is accused of all manner of underhand dealings, forcing his way into the home of a crippled man.

The crippled man's life and livelyhood was under threat from a multinational that does not follow legal proceedure. It's impunity!

He is one lucky guy to be alive. If all he does is get fired, he's one lucky mf.

shida, some guys want the marketing and the benefits attached from franchise with the big firms and still too greedy they want to run the biashara as an independent outlet.
what happens, they end up getting fuel from those funny trucks, the fuel is mostly adulterated, denting the firms image, when the guys from the firms come to check they are threatened with guns and the regulatory guys look the other way due to connections.

@FRM2011, your theory doesn't make sense. I presume that;
1. You enter into a signed agreement with Shell, so things are done per the agreement, issues of eviction must then follow the agreement.
2. The infrastructure that houses the station is yours and not shells so they can't really evict you, you can opt to take your business to the competition
3. Shell uses their sales people (account managers) whose core role is to drive sales, stock-outs and low sales is the responsibility of the sales team and account managers and not the station owner. Shell as a company is interested in pushing countrywide sales, and targets
4. I would expect fuel to have a separate account from lubricants such that your fuel account status is not affected by slow moving lubricants.

I tend to agree with @Sitakikujulikana's theory, this guy is a politician and I have learned to not trust them at all, they are all corrupt and think they can get away with anything, I bet he was selling adulterated fuel purchased from those dodgy trucks.

Never give a Kenyan politician the benefit of the doubt

Am afraid you are wrong in all the above. I worked for 6 months as a station manager under a shell dealership.

Until the other day when they started taking over previously independent stations, the practice before was for shell to put up the entire infrastructure, while you provide the land.

Even now, everything belongs to shell, including the pumps, tanks and fire fighting equipment. Everything has a shell sticker including the cage for gas cylinders. You only own the inventory.

An account manager has a target to drive sales but if you don't meet your target, they start threats of giving the station to someone else. It's why they will send you an email on 31st March and tell you you must buy lubricants worth a certain amount by end of day to meet the quarterly target. And you can't get fuel until you clear the lubricants invoice.

Let me explain how a take over happens because I experienced one. Senior guys show up early in the morning and they seal off the premises. Your employees are evicted. You cannot even access the office. They take charge and advise you to pursue your account settlement at their head office. If they tell you that your tanks were leaking and there is water in the fuel tank, your stocks worth like 6M is gone just like that. And they will deduct it from your deposit.

It's your land but can't access it anymore. For the senator, it's either that junior employees were unable to evict him or it's a strategic site and polycarp has an interest. Otherwise, this is a first time for a CEO to be involved in KYM tasks.

Same with eabl dealerships,the zeal with which that guy was acting said soo much, lucky he is not in a morgue,the senator didn't shoot in air,the gun went off!
