Kenya govt urges citizens to step up on national security duty

Kenya's government is calling out citizens for basically not caring about security anymore, and officials say that people ignoring safety rules at events and protests keep making everything worse. Internal Security boss Raymond Omollo told the private sector alliance KEPSA that small businesses, especially, get hammered when things go sideways, and the country needs folks to actually share intel with security agencies instead of being passive.

The government wants to formalize partnerships with private companies to handle stuff like police reforms and cybersecurity after recording over 842 million cyber attack attempts recently. KEPSA chair Annette Kimitei mentioned that young people storming stadiums without tickets during events has become a problem that could wreck the entertainment industry, and authorities need to fix the chaos before major tournaments roll around.

Regulators are finishing up rules to strengthen private security companies while pushing people to take more responsibility for public order.
