Thika West Sub-County Police Commander (formerly OCPD) Daniel Kinyua has appealed to the Judiciary to impose heavy penalties on drug traffickers and criminals in order to win the battle against these vices.

Speaking during the new year party by Makongeni Police officers, the OCPD blamed the lenient fines and bonds extended to these criminals for recurrence of the vice.
These small fines and bond given to these criminals in court have deterred the police in the fight against crime since the culprits pay these fines and come straight back to the trade. Some of them have more than 5 cases pending in court and are out here continuing with their illegal business," said Kinyua.


Kamenu Ward MCA Peter Mburu promised full support to the police in fight crime and drug trafficking in the area.
Makongeni Assistant County Commissioner (ACC) Priscilla Wang'ombe appealed to the resident to continue exposing criminal activities to the authorities in order to help make the area safer to live in and do business. The occasion was also attended by area residents who hailed the officers for improved security in the area in the recent times. Makongeni OCS Peter Ireri Nyaga was late last year awarded by 3T TV for his extemporary service delivery to Thika residents.
