Area MCA Binary Wainaina, noted that if the residents fully embrace the ‘Nyumba Kumi” initiative and report any suspicious strangers to the authorities, crime would be eliminated in the area

He further added that through the collaboration of the County and National Governments, area security had greatly improved, but called on the residents to play a bigger role in the effort.

“I urge all the residents to play a bigger role by reporting any suspicious characters to the authorities. That way we will be able to eradicate the few isolated cases,” he said.

The legislator, who was speaking at Kidfarmco when he attended a second anniversary at the Kidfarmco PCEA church in the area over the weekend, said that youths are being indulged into the heinous act, and appealed to parents to be aware of the same.

He, however, thanked the residents for their continued collaboration with the security agencies, stating that it had made it difficult for thugs to attack the Sub County as opposed to the previous times.

Wainaina extended his gratitude to the county government of Kiambu for their continued support to fund Nyumba Kumi initiative, saying it has been a plus in terms of security, especially in Kikuyu ward where cases of insecurity were alarming.
