Nine security firms have had operating licenses revoked due to accusations of breaching multiple regulations. The Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA) published the names of these companies in a notice over non-compliance.

This comes as a seven-day notice to the firms to comply with a directive to increase the guard’s salary to at least KES 30,000 lapses Tuesday, February 6.

In a gazette notice dated January 5, 2024, PSRA CEO Fazul Mahamed stated that the blacklisted companies have breached four regulations as guided in the Private Security Regulation Act No. 13 of 2016.

Mahamed noted that the nine have been found to have breached the provisions of the aforesaid Act and also violated the terms and conditions attached to their certificates of registration as corporate private security service providers.

The companies have also been found to have failed, declined, and/or refused to comply with minimum wage regulations and breached Section 33 of the Act having engaged private security officers who do not have guard force Numbers as proof of registration by the Authority.
