Since the majority of the stolen motorcycles have not been found, many locals feel powerless and angry.
The most recent incident included the theft of two motorcycles, which occurred on Monday night. The motorcycles have not yet been found, despite the police being notified of the situation.
These motorcycles are how we make a living. Joseph Kitur, a Koiwa resident, remarked, “Many of us have worked hard to buy them, and some we acquired on loans.”
“A lot of us don’t feel safe in the village, which is why we’re requesting assistance,” Kitur continued.
To improve security in the area, residents have been requested to collaborate closely with Nyumba Kumi officials and the local government.
“The community must take common responsibility for this. Residents actively involved in the Nyumba Kumi Program in the neighborhood, Michael Kipng’eno, stated, “As representatives of Nyumba Kumi, we will exert every effort to guarantee the safety of our residents and the protection of their property.
In the meanwhile, the community has started public education campaigns about preventing motorbike theft and other preventative security steps that people can do to safeguard their belongings.
To improve security, locals are also demanding more police presence in the neighborhood.
