The National Police Service has assured Kenyans of security as they prepare for an eventful month of April.

In a statement issued by the National Police Spokesperson Bruno Shioso, the authorities said that security has been enhanced due to the nature of events happening in the month.

April will be an event-packed month. Besides the ongoing KCSE examinations and heightened political activities experienced in the country, Muslims and Christian faithful are preparing to usher in the Holy month of Ramadhan and Easter Holidays, respectively.

Preparations are also ongoing to host the African Rally Championship (ARC) to be held in Naivasha later in the month. All these activities compound the demand for enhanced security services,” Shioso noted.

The security agencies have also enhanced their surveillance and intelligence capabilities against suspicious individuals and organized gangs.

According to Aljazeera, the first day of fasting for the holy month of Ramadan is likely to be Saturday, April 2.

To establish the beginning of Ramadan, which is determined by the sighting of the new moon, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim-majority countries rely on the testimonies of moon sighters.
