A circulation of the missing person to all police station in Kenya was made via Ongata Rongai Police Station signal. Preliminary investigation revealed that on 22nd November 2023, Frenda Chepng’eno and her friend Yvonne Wambui went to Legend Club within Ongata Rongai Township.

The stakeholders' engagement with learning institutions on enhancing security of students. 2. Carrying out security sensitisation and awareness to students in learning institutions. 3. Carrying out constant patrol to deter and control criminal activities. 4. Enhancing gathering of intelligence to enhance apprehension and prosecution of criminals. 5.
