Nairobi — Inspector General (IG) of the National Police Service (NPS), Douglas Kanja Kirocho, has assured residents and businesses in Tatu City of enhanced security measures.

The IG provided the assurance after paying a courtesy visit to the 5,000-acre mixed-use Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Ruiru, Kiambu County, emphasizing its crucial role in Kenya's economic transformation.

"Tatu City is a key part of Kenya's development and economic growth, and we recognize the importance of security in ensuring it continues to thrive," said the IG.

"This visit is essential as we collaborate to safeguard public safety, making Kenya an attractive destination for foreign investment and a secure environment for local businesses."

As a flagship Vision 2030 project, Tatu City holds Strategic National Importance under The Physical and Land Use Planning (Classification of Strategic and Inter-County Projects) Regulations, 2019.

Security remains a top priority, with the NPS's Critical Infrastructure Protection Unit (CIPU) dedicated to protecting the city's infrastructure and utilities.

Designed without restrictive gates or perimeter walls, Tatu City promotes an open environment for the flow of people and business activities while maintaining a peaceful and secure setting.

"The pace at which Tatu City is growing has led us to reassess our approach to integrated solutions for development and security. We see national security architecture as critical to attracting investment and sustaining Tatu City's growth," said Solomon Mahinda, Executive Vice President of Tatu City.
