Police recalled from leave as govt tightens security ahead of festivities

The Ministry of Interior has recalled police officers from leave and deployed additional personnel across the country to boost security operations ahead of the festive season, a period authorities say typically sees a spike in crime and traffic violations.In a statement released on Wednesday, December 17, the ministry said the overall security situation remains calm and stable but warned of possible isolated incidents during the festivities.“The overall security situation across the country remains calm and stable. However, based on past trends, this period may see isolated increases in security incidents, traffic violations, and other opportunistic criminal activities,” the statement said.To strengthen coordination, the National Multi-Agency Command Centre has been activated to enhance monitoring, intelligence sharing, and rapid response to incidents.Follow The Standard

They include deploying mobile courts and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers to deter bribery by traffic police, amid a rise in road accidents.Separately, the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has launched operations targeting traders and users of illicit alcohol and drugs.Police said criminal gangs targeting both locals and foreigners during the festive season are under heightened surveillance. Authorities are also monitoring community leaders accused of promoting harmful cultural practices, including female genital mutilation (FGM).“Alongside intensified operations against organized criminal gangs operating in Nairobi, the Coast, Western, Nyanza, Central, and Eastern regions, security teams have escalated targeted enforcement measures to address cultural and social crimes, including FGM, defilement, early pregnancies, forced marriages, domestic violence, and religious extremism,” read the statement.Large crowds are expected at holiday events in Nairobi and other towns, while many Kenyans are travelling upcountry.Authorities say traffic offences, petty crime, muggings, violent robberies, and gang activity are among the most common risks during the holiday period.Stay informed.
