Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin has called upon security heads across the country to ensure round the clock coverage during the upcoming festive season.
According to a statement by the DCI, Amin urged all heads of directorates at DCI headquarters, regional commanders and county criminal investigation officers to plan accordingly for security coverage in their respective areas of command.
According to Amin, criminals are traditionally known to come out in their numbers to interrupt the peace and safety of the citizens, through violent robberies, breaking and all manner of felony during the festivities.
As such, he directed the commanders to mobilize their strengths to ensure that Kenyans were assured of adequate security as they continued with their daily economic ventures & celebratory activities.
Amin made these remarks on Friday at a meeting that preceded the DCI’s end of the year celebrations at the Mazingira Complex.
Also present at the event was the Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission Mr Eliud Kinuthia who was chief guest.
