The Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, has announced the establishment of two new police stations to bolster security operations within the Nairobi Metropolitan Region.
In a gazette notice, Kanja stated, "In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 4 (1) of the National Police Service Act, the Inspector-General designates the establishment, particulars of which is set out in the Schedule hereto to be a police station for the purpose of the Act." The two stations named are Kimuchu Police Station in Thika West and Runda Mumwe Police Post in Kiambu East, both of which will now operate as formal law enforcement facilities under the National Police Service.
The decision is aimed at improving police presence and enhancing response time in high-population and high-risk areas within the metropolitan zone.
