Boost as Nyamira County Gets New Police Station
Residents of Nyamira County have received a major security boost with the commissioning of a new police station in Ekerenyo, Nyamira North Sub-County. The new facility, officially opened by Interior Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo, is expected to significantly improve police response times and bring security services closer to the people. The station will serve several wards that previously had to travel long distances to report crimes or seek police assistance.
Dr. Omollo stated that the establishment of the station is part of the government’s broader strategy to decentralize and enhance security infrastructure across the country. He emphasized that a visible and accessible police presence is a critical deterrent to crime. The new station is fully equipped with offices, holding cells, and housing units for officers to ensure efficient service delivery.
Local leaders and residents have welcomed the development, expressing optimism that it will curb rising incidents of theft and domestic violence in the area. The County Commissioner urged the community to take full advantage of the new facility by collaborating with the officers to maintain law and order. The opening of the Ekerenyo Police Station marks a significant step towards improving safety and fostering a more secure environment for socio-economic activities in the region.
