Lack of a police station in the vast Kajiado West has made it difficult for the police to patrol the vast sub county well according to Kibiko residents.
Kajiado West sub county was divided into two administrative units in 2023, giving birth to Elang’ata Wuas Sub County.
The first Deputy County Commissioner of Elang’ata Wuas Sub-County, Fred Masingila was installed by the then Interior CS and now Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on September 12, 2023.
The establishment of Elang’ata Wuas Sub county left Kajiado West without a police station after Magadi Police Station, which was the only police station in Kajiado West was swallowed by Elang’ata Wuas sub-county.
Kibiko residents have now appealed to Kajiado West MP George Sunkuiya and the Interim General of Police Douglas Kanja to do everything they can to elevate Kibiko police post to a police station.
“Police station comes with vehicles, more police officers and other resources. It’s unacceptable to have a sub county without a police station in 2025. With the completion of the Ngong to Suswa road, it makes sense to have a well equiped and manned police station which includes traffic officers in Kibiko.” A resident said.
Most of the crime investigations that occur in Kajiado West are investigated by either Ngong or Kiserian police stations, which are both within n Kajiado North sub county.
Crime investigations and other police operations occuring within Kajiado West sub county should be conducted by officers based within the area of jurisdiction for accountability purposes.
