“I want to assure the business community in Lari sub-county that their security has been guaranteed. They should conduct their activities without fear,” he said.
Kinyua said that a special team has been put in place to coordinate security matters in Lari.
He said that criminals will not be given room to cause havoc adding that those caught engaging in crime will face the law.
The sub-county commissioner directed law enforcers to be alert and devote enough time to their work.
He said that criminals should be treated as criminals and that anyone resisting the law will face the ‘music’.
Kinyua urged the public to be vigilant and expose criminals whom he said are among them.
“These criminals we are hunting day and night are amongst you. You must expose them to us for security to be normalised,” added the sub-county commissioner.
