• Kenyans hope the government will do something about the rising insecurity.

• The muggings are mostly committed by Kenyans in their early 20's.

There has been an outcry by Kenyans over the latest increase in insecurity cases with most of them ending up in stabbings or murder.

During the Morning Conversation on Classic 105, Kenyans shared their experiences at the hands of these merciless thugs.

*Peter says he was almost attacked while depositing cash.

"I went in to deposit some cash in Tala and while coming out 5 boys approached me and I had to run."

*Mike narrated

"They approached me and I was only carrying a charger. They told me to give them the charger but warned me they would be back for the phone.

What happened is a story for another day."

*Shiru says in Dagoretti, things aren't easier.

"I live in Dagoretti Corner, Githende.

You cannot walk without your phone being snatched, we have reported and nothing has been done.

I do not know if the police have relaxed or not.

They even stalk people who hawk coffee, drink, and refuse to pay for it."

A police inspector called in saying that people are nowadays quick to report the police to IPOA adding that this has made them hesitant.

'Tumekaliwa, the police can't do anything because they fear everything including IPOA.

You may use your gun then you get followed, so nobody wants to take action."

Below are some tweets from Kenyans

These goons in a motorbike confiscated a handbag from a helpless woman who had come from a church in broad daylight.

They are bold and intimidating.
