Governor Evans Kidero directs officers not to arrest residents on Fridays

Nairobi Governor Evans
Kidero has instructed the city askaris not
to arrest any person on Fridays.
The order is to take effect immediately.
Dr Kidero said that the enforcement of
arrests by the city askaris especially on
Fridays was an avenue to mint money,
especially by the department of Physical
Planning.
“Arrests are made on tampered charges,
which put residents in an awkward
position where they have no recourse but
to negotiate their way out privately,” he
noted.
He emphasised, “there will be absolutely
no arrest on Friday.” He also ordered that
any arrests to be made at a planning site,
will only be effected in the company of a
technical person from the Department of
Planning.
He further announced that phase one of
CCTV installation system in Nairobi
Central Business District (CBD) was
through and would soon be launched.
“All the cameras are in place,” he
confirmed.
He explained, “The second phase covering
hotspots such as Kariobangi, Komarock,
Kawangware, Kangemi and Dandora will
be operational next year, while by 2016 a
total of 200 cameras will have been
installed to cover the whole of Nairobi,”
he revealed. Kidero spoke as he unveiled
the new chief of Security, Compliance,
Investigations and Fire and Disaster
Management in the city. Former Central
Provincial Police Officer Francis Munyama
