Two Lamu police officers have been recognised for their dedication to fighting defilement and gender violence in the county. Kwamwara is also the police boss for Hindi division, an area where cases of defilement and gender violence have spiked. Mghoi said many perpetrators of defilement and gender violence have been prosecuted because of the dedicated efforts of the two and their teams. Owira criticised community members who rush to resolve defilement and gender violence cases at home. A report by the Director of Public Prosecutions’ Office in Lamu showed that Hindi division has been leading in defilement cases since 2015.
