Murang'a South Sub-county security team has introduced a raft of security measures to curb insecurity following a surge in crime and lawlessness in the area.
Rampant cases of petty crime like burglary, theft of farm produce, and animals like cows, goats and chickens have been reported.
Speaking during a public forum at Kaharati Sub location, the area Deputy County Commissioner, Gitonga Murungi, intimated that the security team had introduced a directive that required every division to maintain a register that would capture all the visitors that had come to work in the area.
This is after the residents raised concerns with the high turnover of visitors from all over the country and beyond who were working as farmhands in the area, noting that it has become increasingly difficult to trace the real perpetrators of crimes.
