Government boosts security ahead of December festivities

As the December festivities approach, the government has ramped up efforts to ensure public safety and curb crime, particularly during this politically charged period. Historically, the holiday season has seen a rise in criminal activities, prompting a comprehensive response led by the Ministry of Interior.

At the heart of the government’s plan are community-driven solutions and enhanced multi-agency coordination. This strategy involves a wide range of stakeholders, including faith-based organizations (FBOs), village elders, Nyumba Kumi groups, local police, and National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), spearheaded by chiefs and their assistants.

Faith-based organizations are playing a crucial role by fostering reconciliation and unity. “Their involvement is vital in promoting healing and forgiveness, especially during a period marked by heightened political tensions,” noted a senior Ministry official.

A key pillar of the strategy is engaging the youth, who are often most vulnerable to crime and substance abuse during the holidays. Interior Principal Secretary, Dr. Raymond Omollo, underscored the importance of keeping young people occupied through community-based initiatives such as sports tournaments and neighborhood activities.

One standout initiative is the Climate WorX project in Nairobi, which engages over 20,000 youth in environmental conservation efforts like cleaning the Nairobi River. “This project is about more than just environmental cleanup. It gives young people a sense of purpose, allowing them to earn an income while contributing to a cleaner, greener Kenya,” said a senior detective involved in the program.

The government has also reinforced multi-agency collaboration to improve security responses. Dr. Omollo emphasized the importance of seamless communication between security agencies. “When agencies collaborate, they break down barriers and reduce delays, making it possible to prevent crimes before they happen,” he explained.

In the coming weeks, additional measures such as increased patrols and enhanced intelligence-sharing will be rolled out. Security agencies have urged the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities.

“With these strategies in place, Kenyans can enjoy a safer holiday season as they celebrate with their loved ones,” assured a senior security official.
