The Ministry of Interior and National Security has issued key directives to all security formations within the country as the December holiday celebrations kick off countrywide.
The government, through a circular released on Wednesday, December 4, directed all security officers on leave to immediately resume work so that they can provide additional security to the nation.
According to Interior Principal Secretary(PS) Raymond Omollo, a total of 10,317 officers have already been deployed and will be patrolling the streets to enhance public safety.
”I hereby direct that all Multi-Agency Command Centres be manned 24 hours seven days a week. This means that all Police Officers who are currently on Leave are hereby directed to resume duty with immediate effect and not later than December 5, 2024,” Omolo directed.
The PS has also announced that officers from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) will be deployed at the National Multi-Agency Command Centre (NMACC) at Lang’ata Barracks to help regional security teams prevent security threats.
The KDF officers have further been directed to provide additional support to the law enforcement units by providing air support surveillance and logistics during the festive.
