The Nairobi County Assembly Women Caucus has urged the government to deploy adequate security personnel in the city to curb crime. Led by chairperson Doris Kanario, the women legislators on Friday said the trend is affecting people's socio-economic status and their mental health. “Muggings, robberies and kidnappings in Nairobi are on the rise and happening in broad daylight. “The victims have been left with physical abuse, sexual abuse, being killed, psychological abuse, confinement, isolation and being drugged,” Kanario said. The MCAs said the loss of income owing to the Covid-19 pandemic should not be used as an excuse to terrorise people.
