Security officers in Kisumu have intensified patrols to restore order and tackle insecurity in the county.

The authorities have also imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the notorious Kanyakwar area, a hotspot for criminal activities, as part of efforts to contain the situation and prevent further crimes.

The move to bolster security comes after a spate of robberies that have raised concerns among local residents and law enforcement officers in the lakeside city.

Last week, senior police officers were deployed to the city to enhance security operations, with the aim of improving coordination and ensuring a more effective response to the ongoing security challenges.

These measures are part of a broader strategy to improve public safety in Kisumu, and particularly in areas most affected by crime, as the government looks to curb the rising insecurity and restore peace in the region.

The increased presence of security personnel and the night curfew in Kanyakwar are expected to deter criminal activities and provide a sense of security to residents.
