An uproar over rising cases of muggings at the city center involving young, armed youths has now caught the attention of top security organs.
This come following the outcry by the city residents and how young men wielding knives were terrorizing Nairobians on some spots at the Central Business District.
And now, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has directed security agencies to intensify operations against criminal gangs preying on unsuspecting citizens.
Speaking during a Jukwaa la Usalama forum in Bungoma on Thursday, Murkomen said the government had taken note of the surge in attacks. "I want to confirm to you that operations are ongoing and they will continue," Murkomen stated.
