Crimes in Kenya drop by 8 percent

“These can be attributed to high levels of poverty, deeply engrained beliefs about gender roles and marriage, abuse of drugs, culture, among others,” the report states.

“The Local Administration including Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs, through Barazas should endeavour to organize for marriage awareness programs with recognized counselling institutions,” it recommends.

The report also shows that incidences of border incursions and attacks have been experienced mainly in two regions in the country; North Rift and North Eastern regions.

Border insecurity was attributed to either, “ Cattle rustling culture among pastoralists communities living along the border, Inter-clan clashes where same clan members living in neighbouring countries reinforce their counterparts living within Kenyan borders or scarce natural resources like water and pastures where nomadic pastoralists graze their stock across the Porous borders.”

Poaching was also put as a major threat to the National Security.

“However, measures by the Security agents led by the Kenya Wildlife Service have been put in place to curb this heinous crime,” the report reads.

Among the measures formulated by the authorities include the formation of a special Anti-Poaching squad whose main task is to tackle poaching in the country.
