Business owners marched through Embu streets Wednesday demanding protection from criminal gangs. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki arrived Friday evening to address the security crisis. He promised residents that special police teams would hunt down the criminals. Kindiki spoke with Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen and Police Chief Douglas Kanja about the problems. The Quick Response Team already started operations across the town.
Criminals have broken into nearly ten shops during the past week. Robbers stole phones and accessories from stores leaving business people with huge losses. Kindiki warned gang members to surrender or face arrest soon. He said criminals cannot take control of any Kenyan town. Special officers received orders to deal firmly with all lawbreakers.
The deputy president brought back Town Chief Jackson Kamau to his job. Kindiki told government workers to stay away from politics during their duties. He promised action against any civil servants who take political sides. Officials must serve all people fairly without choosing favorites. The government refuses to misuse administrators for political purposes.
