Some residents of Kisumu have reported living in fear, over rising cases of insecurity.
They say areas such as Kondele, Manyatta, Obunga and Nyalenda are dangerous, especially during the night, with robbery and rape among the crimes reported.
“I blame our security officers who should be in charge of our safety. They always show up immediately when a crime is reported but you will never see them on the streets patrolling. We live in fear,” said Collins Okembia, a resident of Kondele.
This week, a lady was stabbed to death near the Kondele roundabout, causing panic in the area.
“Just recently a lady was stabbed to death near the Kondele round about and died on the spot. I think the government should immediately find a proper solution to issues of insecurity because so many people are losing lives,” stated Mourine Akello.
Residents linked cases of insecurity to joblessness, especially among the youth.
