Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja has directed residents of the county to "institute apprehension" of individuals who are vandalising city infrastructure in a bid to eliminate crime in the city. Speaking during a press briefing on Monday, September 8, Sakaja claimed that despite the county government working closely with the DCI and the National Police Service (NPS) to increase the police presence in the CBD to reinforce security, citizens must also take responsibility to curb these incidents.
According to Sakaja, some individuals have been deliberately sabotaging lighting infrastructure in the CBD, which has created a conducive environment for crime to thrive.
Sakaja has revealed that the county government has introduced a toll-free number, 988, through which citizens can contact the county government if they spot any individuals involved in crime. An aerial view of the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
