The Kenya Police Service has revealed 10 hotspots in Nairobi that Kenyans should be vigilant of ahead of the August General Elections.

The places include: Ziwani, Landhies Road, Globe, Dandora, Makadara, Mowlem Savanah, Mukuru, Sinai,Umoja as well as all the slums.

Nairobi Police Commander Japheth Koome on Tuesday July 4 urged Kenyans to be vigilant ahead of the elections.

“The list is long but generally all informal settlements are on our watch list. These areas have big populations and we shall deploy extra number of officers. The threat level in these areas is higher,” he said.

Koome further assured Kenyans that the Police would do everything they can to ensure their safety.

“Where force is required, we shall be governed by the law. The use of force will depend on circumstances.”

The meeting was held at Utalii Hotel and all divisional commanders in Nairobi were in attendance to discuss how to ensure maximum security during this election period.

All tallying centres and polling stations will also be well protected during the elections.
