The government has identified 109 organized criminal gangs across Kenya as it steps up security ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo said yesterday the number has risen from 89 gangs declared illegal in 2016.
Western Kenya leads with 38 groups, followed by Rift Valley with 22 and Nairobi with 20. Nyanza has 12 and Coast has 11.
PS Omollo warned that youth groups are being recruited to perpetrate violence and intimidation and said security agencies have mapped all groups and will not allow disruption of peace.
