"We're here to maintain law and order throughout the holidays," the official stated, "and we want to assure the business community they can operate with peace of mind." He stressed that the increased security is not in response to any specific threat, but rather a proactive initiative by the government to guarantee the safety of Kenyans during this festive period.
This sentiment was echoed by Internal Security Minister Kithure Kindiki in a recent message, assuring Kenyans that the security sector will remain vigilant throughout the season. Additionally, Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome has recalled all officers on leave to resume duty with immediate effect, further bolstering security nationwide.
