Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport Kipchumba Murkomen, in collaboration with Principal Secretary for Interior and National Administration Raymond Omollo, is set to officially launch the National Government Administration Police Unit on Friday, January 24, in Kwale County.
The event, which will take place at a high-profile venue in the coastal region, marks a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to enhance security and streamline the operations of the Administration Police Service under the National Police Service framework. The launch aligns with the Kenya Kwanza government’s commitment to bolstering national security and improving service delivery in all parts of the country.
CS Murkomen, known for his hands-on approach to governance, has reiterated the importance of a cohesive and well-equipped security apparatus. He is expected to emphasize how the new unit will play a critical role in addressing issues such as crime prevention, disaster management, and community policing
PS Omollo, who oversees the Interior docket, will highlight the government’s strategic plan to decentralize security services, ensuring that all counties, especially those in remote areas like Kwale, have access to effective security measures. His remarks will likely underline the importance of strengthening the relationship between law enforcement agencies and local communities.
The launch will bring together senior government officials, local leaders, and residents of Kwale County, who are anticipated to celebrate this significant development in security administration. The NGAPU is envisioned to foster a safer environment, enabling socio-economic growth in the region.
This initiative reinforces the government’s commitment to maintaining peace, protecting citizens, and creating an environment conducive to development. Kwale County residents have expressed optimism that the presence of a strengthened police unit will lead to reduced insecurity and improved collaboration between citizens and law enforcement.
