The FKF Premier League defending champions continue to stand out not just for their performances on the pitch but for the unique harmony within their squad that blends police officers and civilians into a united dressing room.
According to Kinanga, that unity is largely driven by something simple yet powerful: humour.
The team has captured nationwide attention through their lighthearted social media presence, especially on platforms like TikTok.
Matchday moments, training sessions, and even travel routines are often laced with jokes, funny filters, and playful interactions.
Among the players who have become central in this digital camaraderie are captain Abud Omar, Alvin Mang’eni, and Kinanga.
But beyond entertainment, Kinanga says the humour plays a deeper role, both within the team and in his line of duty as a police officer.
Speaking to Mozzart Sport after their 1-0 victory over BB Bread FC in the Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 16 match at Kasarani Stadium on Friday, 10 April, Kinanga explained how modern policing has evolved.
“Policing today is not like it used to be. We are now the Kenya Police Service, not the Kenya Police Force. When you build rapport with the public, engage them on social media, and even share a laugh, it becomes much easier to manage crime,” he said.
For the corporal, breaking down barriers through relatability allows officers to work more effectively with the communities they serve.
“You find that you and the community are working together. But the moment you resort to force, people become reluctant to engage with you,” he added.
This philosophy mirrors what happens within the team itself. With a squad composed of both officers and civilians, maintaining mutual respect and openness is key.
“If you look at our team, it is made up of both police officers and civilians. The moment you introduce force, it creates division.
But when you interact freely and relate well with everyone, you build an environment where people feel comfortable approaching you whenever they have concerns,” Kinanga noted.
His influence both on and off the pitch has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, Kinanga earned a promotion from Constable to Corporal, a recognition of his long-standing service and impact at the club.
