The security situation in the sub-county has improved over the past few months due to the efforts made by the stakeholders concerned; including the nyumba kumi initiative.

Speaking during the 52^nd Madaraka Day celebrations at the Isinya Primary School grounds, Mr. Fred Machoka, a celebrated radio personality who also resides in the area was keen to note the change.

“It is evident that the security of this area has tremendously improved. The DCC and his team are doing a commendable job and I urge them to keep it up…” he said.

His sentiments were echoed by the area MCA, Hon. David Nkirrimpai, who also firmly criticized the investors in the sub-county.

“Some of these investors pretend to be good and genuine, and are not. Some who are working on the Standard Gauge Railway are so mean that they can’t even share water from their boreholes with the community. If they can’t do that, we might as well do without their sodas during these celebrations…” said Hon. Nkirrimpai.

Still on security matters, it was noted that some investors hire or contract people from outside the county, and at the end of job period, these people do not return to their places of origin and in turn become criminals. In this case, the investors were asked to work with people from this area to avoid such occurrences.

The DCC, Mr. David Kipkemei, vowed to work even harder to ensure that the sub-county is safe for everyone. He also urged the wananchi to be vigil and to provide information to the security officers on any issue that might come up pertaining security.
