Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has reminded Kenyans to keep safe during this festive season.
In a statement on Monday, the CS passed his Christmas message to Kenyans reminding them to strengthen their bonds of family, Country and humanity.
"To all people of goodwill and the Christian fraternity in Kenya and worldwide: happy and blessed Christmas and New Year festivities," Kindiki said.
As people celebrate the festive season, the Interior boss revealed that the security sector will remain on duty.
"We in the security sector will remain on duty throughout the season to ensure your safety and that of your families," Kindiki stated.
Just last week, Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome ordered all police officers on leave to resume work immediately in a bid to enhance security in the country during the festive season.
The IG urged all road users to observe traffic rules noting that 16 people had already lost their lives in the past week.
“I am appealing to pedestrians, cyclists, boda boda riders, passengers, and drivers to adhere to traffic rules so that we make this festive season safe for all of us,” said Koome.
The IG called for collective responsibility by all road users adding that most accidents were as result of non-compliance with traffic regulations and rules such as operating defective vehicles, failure to use safely belts by commuters, speeding, driver fatigue, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and dangerous overtaking.
