Nairobi Police boss Adamson Bungei has said the authorities will ensure Kenyans experience a safe festive season.
Speaking while addressing the media, Bungei said all police stations across the country are ready to take up responsibilities.
"We will be well coordinated, our offices will be open to ensure everyone is attended to, in case of a challenge," he said.
"More personnel have been mobilised for the operations."
Bungei noted that Kenyans will not experience any challenges.
His comments come hours after Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura issued a cautionary advisory to Kenyans intending to travel upcountry for the upcoming festivities.
In a travel advisory for the Christmas period, Mwaura emphasized that weather forecasts indicate the persistence of heavy rains across different regions, heightening the risk of flash floods and reduced visibility on the roads.
Travelers are urged to exercise caution and stay updated on weather conditions to ensure a safe journey
He thus advised that if possible, it is important for those who want to travel to suspend their travel plans during this period unless necessary.
“When it rains flash floods are still imminent so it may not be very safe to travel. Unless it is extremely necessary, we should keep off these roads altogether until such a time that are fully restored,” Mwaura said.
He noted that those planning to travel might not be having the latest update on the condition of the routes and roads they intend to use hence the need to exercise caution.
Mwaura has advised that Kenyans should avoid driving when it is raining especially when the visibility is less than 100 metres as this may compromise their safety.
