Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan leaders have come out to condemn the rising cases of violent crimes around the country.<\/p>\n

Cases of mugging and robbery with violence have increased in Nairobi and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo on Sunday said Kenyans should unite to win against the crimes.<\/p>\n

“Fellow Kenyans we must now unite more than ever to win this crime. We cannot be spectators of criminal gangs terrorizing Kenyans as we watch. We must take up our space and say enough is enough. If we don’t stop this now it is going to be a big problem for our country,” he said.<\/p>\n

Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot on his part said the rate at which violent crimes is rising in Nairobi is troubling.<\/p>\n

“Good morning KOT. The level of violent crimes across Nairobi is really frightening. The number of Kenyans being attacked, maimed and stabbed to death is troubling. There are no police patrols or responses as they appear to be indifferent. It is very worrying,” he said.<\/p>\n

This comes at a time when thugs in Nairobi have been reported to go to extreme ends of stabbing their victims and robbing them.<\/p>\n

A doctor from Kenyatta National Hospital recently took to social media to warn citizens of the increased number of patients being admitted with stab wounds from muggings.<\/p>\n

Dr Lilian Munyua said the hospital receives an average of four to seven patients daily stabbed around the city.<\/p>\n

The majority of the stabbing incidents, she said, occur on Thika Superhighway at the stretch between the Drive-In flyover and KCA University, the KCA underpass up to Total Exit and at the Globe roundabout and Kipande Road.<\/p>\n

Other areas where patients were stabbed are on Waiyaki Way at ABC Place Kangemi market, Naivas Allsops off Thika Superhighway, the CBD (particularly at Archives), River Road, Fig Tree area in Ngara and KBC offices around the University of Nairobi.<\/p>\n
