The National Police Service has said it will enhance security during the April festive season in conjunction with its partners within the multi-agency framework. 

This is because of the high-level activities that happen during the season which pose security threats to citizens.

NPS issued a statement on Tuesday saying activities that will take place during the month of April compound the demand for enhanced security services.

The activities include religious events such as Ramadan and Easter Holidays. The African Rally Championship will also be held in Naivasha in the same month.

“These high-level activities also, unfortunately, present opportunities to a few criminal elements to plot disruptive activities that may harm the smooth running of organised events and activities,” NPS said.
