On May 29 at Ambassadeur, he was charged with using abusive words towards Corporal Virginia Karimi.
He told her, "usinilete umalaya hapa" (don't bring prostitution here) when performing her duties.
According to the court documents, Githinji had packed his matatu on the pavement, obstructing other road users, when Karimi who was manning traffic along Moi Avenue, noticed the infraction.
He reportedly answered back rudely after being asked why he was obstructing other road users.
