Amnesty International has asked Kenyan citizens to hold the national government to account on issues of security and service delivery.
Speaking to journalists at Imperial Hotel in Kisumu, Country director of Amnesty International Justus Nyangaya said that 60 per cent of people in Nairobi are living in informal settlements and hardly have a police station or police post.
"Over Sh 2 million people do not enjoy police services in Nairobi that is similar to Kisumu. On the issue of one security officer being in charge of about 400 people, in Kenya it is about one police officer to 1,600 people," said Nyangaya.
He said that Amnesty International is training people to empower them through the constitution and doing the right thing in as far as service delivery is concern.
"We are moving into the security sector because we feel very strongly that corruption and security are issues that deal with the dignity of human rights," said Nyangaya.
He said that forced eviction is major issue being carried out at the county government.
"We are here to engage the county government to do the right thing for the people they exist to serve," he said.
