total there were 335 incidents in April as compared to 493 incidents in March. Theft and armed robbery

were the most prevalent crime Nairobi while murder remained the prevalent crime in the rest of the

country. Also during the month, the nation marked the first anniversary of the Garissa University College

massacre. The attack by four Al Shabaab militants on April 2 last year left 148 people dead, 142 of them

students and 79 or more injured. Although threat of terrorism in Kenya has declined significantly since

the massacre, terrorism continues to be a threat to security in the country and we urge you to be alert

and report any suspicious person or objects to the authority.

The public has been warned to expect more rainfall in the coming days by the weatherman. Severe

landslides, flash floods, storms and traffic congestion are anticipated in different parts of the country as a

result of the heavy down pour. Here at Securex we urge you to unblock drainages, repair weak structures,

not to touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water, not to walk through moving water

or drive into flooded areas as little as 6 inches) of moving water can sweep you away and if advised to

evacuate your home, do so immediately,

SOME NOTABLE NEWS

Crime on Rise, Despite Strides against Terror

Kenya has made strides in neutralising terrorism but domestic crime rose last year, a report by President

Uhuru Kenyatta shows. Despite huge investments in security, many other crimes increased. According to

the State of Security report, there was a 1.3 per cent increase in violent crimes last year from 19,631 to

19,881 cases. The President handed over the report to Parliament after he gave the State of the Nation

Address on March 31.

It says assault made up 74 per cent of the violent crimes that were recorded in 2015 followed by robbery

with violence at 10 per cent. “The challenges in fighting violent crime include the reluctance and/or fear

of members of the public to report and give evidence in court,” the report says. The report says Rift Valley

(27 per cent), Nyanza (17 per cent), Central (14 per cent) and Western (13 per cent) lead in incidents of

violent crimes. The report also shows gender-based violence, especially defilement, increased in 2015.

Gender-based violence cases increased from 5,116 in 2014 to 5,938 last year, representing a 16 per cent

increase. “Gender based violence continues to pose a challenge as it affects the dignity of the victim as

well as exposing them to other secondary effects associated with the kind of violence meted out to them,”

Uhuru said. He said there are still a many cases that go unreported because “our society considers them

taboo subjects.” It says only rape had decreased from 895 to 854, among the gender-based crimes.

Defilement increased the highest, from 3,685 to 4,381, incest increased from 239 to 333, while unnatural

offences increased from 103 to 125.

Cases of bestiality increased from 32 to 43, indecent assault increased from 144 to 183, while bigamy

increased by one case from 18 to 19. The President said investigations and prosecution continue to be

improved through training. In regards to terrorism, he says collaboration between state agencies has

helped detect and prevent attacks. He said authorities have also established the latest tactics being used

by terror groups to increase their efficiency.

“Intelligence has pointed out that al Shabaab operatives are keenly looking for fertile grounds to recruit,

radicalise and possibly attack targets within the country. The operatives are redirecting their energies to

hitherto untouched areas such as Rift Valley, Western and even Nyanza regions as new frontiers for

recruitment,” the report says.

The President also said that drug trafficking was still a challenge in the country which is now being used

as a "conduit" mainly by international drug traffickers, mainly from Asia and South America. "Major

international drug trafficking networks, headed mainly by West Africans but also involving some Kenyans,

are responsible for the bulk of cocaine and heroin trafficked into and through the country," the President

said in the report.

He added that in the last one year, the government has sunk two ships off the Coast of Mombasa, MV AL

NOOR and MV BABY IRIS, which were involved in drug trafficking. "The following limitations undermined

efforts in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse; the international nature of the vice, limited

economic opportunities, corruption and lengthy judicial processes," the President's report states.

In 2015, Uhuru's report shows, there were 785 cased of drug trafficking detected in the country with 698

people (605 male and 93 female) being arrested. There were 133 cases involving 38.5 kilograms of heroin,

five cases involving 5 kilograms of cocaine and 10 cases involving 705 tabs of Rohypnol (a tranquilizer

about ten times more potent than Valium).

There were also three cases involving 18.1 kilograms of Ephedri (banned stimulant) and 634 cases

involving 4.3 tonnes of Cannabis Sativa (bhang). "Drug abuse was prevalent amongst students and the

youth from mainly the Coast and Nairobi regions," Uhuru says in the report.

Money laundering is another crime that the President highlighted as challenging to the government saying

to continued to "threaten Kenya's economy and undermine competitiveness." "Money laundering and

terrorism financing are closely related and the two vices pose a serious threat to integrity and stability of

the country's financial and security systems," the State of Security report says.

The report says that the Financial Reporting Centre received an increase in filing of suspicious transaction

reports which were 725 in 2015. It adds that the FRC also filed 164 money laundering reports related to

terrorism to various security agencies leading to the freezing of accounts of some individuals and entities.

The report shows that there were 24 money laundering reports related to corruption, 14 related to drug

trafficking, 39 related to fraud and 16 related to smuggling. The President said that some challenges

include new technological changes making money laundering more complex. He also said that Kenya

being largely a cash based economy, there is little or no audit trail that can aid in dealing with money

laundering.

Human trafficking is also a subject of the President's report which he said the government was dealing

with to ensure the country is not a source or destination. He however, noted that local and international

cartels facilitate the vice through Marsabit, Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Kajiado, Taita Taveta and Kwale

Counties. He said that these remained strategic exit points for those destined for Southern African

countries, Arab world and Europe. "Bangladeshi, Yemeni, Pakistani, India and Sri Lankan aliens continued

to be smuggled through Jomo Kenyatta, Moi and Wajir airports," Uhuru said in the report.

In 2015, he added, a total of 1,878 aliens were arrested in the country with Ethiopians and Somalis

accounting for 57 percent and 38 percent respectively.

Kenya is now being used as a conduit by international drug traffickers, mainly from Asia and South

America. In 2015, the report shows, there were 785 reported cases of drugs trafficking, involving 605 men

and 93 women. There were 133 cases of 38.5kg of heroin, five cases of five kilos of cocaine and 10 cases

of 705 tabs of Rohypnol (a tranquilizer 10 times more potent than Valium) ….…………………….. The Star,

Police Buy Gear to Deal with Chaotic Protests

Part of Sh3.8 billion allocated for security equipment is being used to buy anti-riot gear for the

police. Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery said this was occasioned by an increase in riots. He

said the gear, bought at an undisclosed amount, would be delivered next month. "You will no longer throw

stones at police during riots. We are bringing in anti-riot gear that will help them deal with rioters who

we see are increasing," he said.

The gear include special police clothes, clubs and special anti-riot water cannons. Mr Nkaissery made the

remarks when he unveiled a new police chopper bought from Italy. He said inasmuch as the Constitution

guarantees freedom of assembly and picketing, those organising such events should do so with sobriety.

"Let us engage in responsible protests to send the message home. We will not tolerate violent protests at

all," he said. As part of efforts to enhance police operations in the war on terror, 30 armoured personnel

carriers were bought and distributed to various parts of the country. They were shared among the regular

police and Administration Police.

And 25 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPS) have been purchased and were expected in

the country in May to be deployed to protect officers against improvised explosive devices.

Dozens of police officers have been killed in improvised explosive device-related attacks along the Kenya

Somalia border and the acquisition is aimed at preventing further loss of life. "An additional 25 MRAPS

that provide added protection against improvised explosive devices will be delivered by May," said

Nkaissery….………………The Standard, Thursday 28th April, 2016.

heavy rains.

The agency is on alert to unblock storm water drainage facilities at the affected areas," read a statement

sent to newsrooms. The authorities further urged motorists not to risk their lives by attempting to cross

flooded areas unless advised by the traffic police and the road agencies. They added that they are

monitoring traffic flow and areas that could pose a danger and urged the public to call 0718555999 for
