Union protests killing of five guards in Kilingili, demands actionA union has expressed concerns about the frequent violent attacks targeting private security guards. The Kenya National Private Security Workers Union is now calling for the immediate arming of guards following the macabre murder of five security men at Kilingili trading centre in Vihiga on March 2. A guard should be able to protect himself or herself against violent attacks,” said Andabwa. The union boss said the Kilingili incident was not an isolated incident as similar killings had occurred in Machakos, Garissa, Kakamega and Lamu counties. He also urged authorities to involve guards in security briefings.
