The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has called on Kenyans to uphold peace and observe the rule of law as the country prepares for the June 25 Gen Z protests.
In a statement by the DCI, the agency emphasised that national security is a shared responsibility and urged citizens to remain vigilant against individuals who may seek to exploit the commemorative events to engage in criminal activities.
The authority noted that every Kenyan has a right to live, work and conduct their daily activities in a safe environment, stressing that peace and stability are essential for the countryβs progress.
“Our nation is strongest when we choose peace over violence, dialogue over destruction, and the rule of law over lawlessness,β the DCI stated.
Additionally, the authority warned against what it described as criminal elements and goons who may take advantage of moments of heightened public interest to incite violence, destroy property, or endanger lives.
It has further urged members of the public to report any suspicious activities, incitement to violence, or criminal acts before they occur.
The agency further reminded citizens that constitutional rights must be exercised responsibly, noting that freedom thrives where the rule of law is respected.
It encouraged Kenyans to share information anonymously via its toll-free hotline and WhatsApp channels, assuring the public that their identities would be protected.
