Professional security guard services in Kiambu County (business/security service insight)

In Kiambu County, police have recovered a large stash of items looted from the Quickmart supermarket in Ruiru, following nationwide protests. County Police Commander Doris Kemei announced that officers traced stolen goods—including mattresses, television sets, gas cylinders, bicycles, and fluorescent tubes—to a store in the Masaku area of Ruiru. The discovery came as part of a broader crackdown that also saw 154 people arrested in connection with the unrest.
The looted items were said to have been stored in premises owned by a businessman, Geoffrey Mbugua, who has since been arrested.
In addition to consumer goods, police recovered firearms stolen from Dagoretti Police Station, which they described as a critical breakthrough.

The operation has drawn both relief and concern from local residents and business owners. On one hand, there is growing confidence that security forces can restore order swiftly. On the other, the scale of the looting has raised deep questions about planning and prevention: how were so many goods moved without detection, and why was it so easy to store them in another part of the county? Analysts say the incident underlines persistent vulnerabilities in local policing amidst social unrest.
Looking ahead, Kiambu County leadership has vowed to strengthen security coordination. Commander Kemei signalled plans to deepen intelligence-gathering operations and tighten monitoring of known hotspots. The recovery operation, she said, is not the end—rather, a stepping stone to building greater resilience and deterring future criminal exploitation of protest movements.
