The Joint Security Agencies, have banned the selling and vending of ‘raw weapons/tools’ like hoes, pangas, knives and other sharp objects on the streets by vendors and hawkers.
Speaking during the weekly security briefing at Naguru Police Headquarters, Police spokesperson Fred Enanga disclosed that they have issued directives to all territorial commanders to confiscate any sharp objects sold on the streets.
“We believe the confiscation of such tools, that can easily be used as weapons, will help mitigate the risks of safety and security, in our neighbourhood, on motorists and other road users,” said Enanga.
He added, “The enforcement of the laws governing vendors, is the sole responsibility of the KCCA. We will therefore, work with KCCA, to ensure and promote a healthy, safe and security environment on our major roads.”
