The alarming rates of crime in Kenya is nothing new. The lack of efficient methods by the proper authorities to curb the menace is also something Kenyans have to deal with everyday.
In recent years there's been a remarkable improvement in efforts to curb criminal activities and even the technology has been upgraded to increase efficiency.
There is a certain Chief though who has gone a step ahead of his counterparts to try and decrease crime rates in his home town Lanet, in Nakuru county.
Chief Francis Kariuki has found a way to use the micro-blogging site, Twitter, to help fight crime. He has found an easy and affordable way in which he can mobilize his community to come together and deal with crime, petty or otherwise.
His tweets come in the simplest of forms, while giving detailed information.
As much as it may be an entirely new way of utilizing the site, Chief Kariuki's way seems to be working.
Maybe he mightjust give our government some pointers on how to use the technology available to curb the crimes in Kenya.
If Chief Kariuki can do it, why can't our government!
