The Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has assured Kenyans that the police have intensified security in the wake of rising cases of children kidnappings. In his weekly engagement #EngageTheIG with Kenyans on Twitter, Mutyambai also called upon parents and guardians to play their part to minimise these cases, including educating their children on the basics of security measures. “Security has been heightened, parents are cautioned to take care of their children and also encouraged to educate their children on basic security measures,” Mutyambai said. On the issues of insecurity in some parts of Nairobi County, the IG said that there is an adequate deployment of police officers in areas affected, and surveillance has been heightened, including community policing. Mutyambai added that an Anti-Mugging team has been deployed within Nairobi CBD, and other major towns and they are also collaborating with NTSA to ensure safety and security within the matatu industry.
