Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome are slated to meet on Monday, November 14, to discuss crime in the city.
Some crucial police units responsible for combatting crime are thought to be on a silent go-slow, which is contributing to the problem.
This comes after some of their nine former Special Service Unit colleagues were jailed for allegedly kidnapping two missing Indians and their Kenyan driver.
President William Ruto has also commented on the issue and encouraged the police to address the country’s insecurity.
He stated that the police are well-resourced and self-sufficient in carrying out their duty.
Residents report an upsurge in muggings, snatching, thieving, violent robbery, and murder in the city.
