Northlands City owned by Former President Uhuru Kenyatta set ablaze.

He however said police were able to respond in time at Raila's firm and prevent further losses. 

Kindiki said police are now in pursuit of at least 2,000 looters who looted Northlands City. 

The CS said he shall be issuing policy directives to the Inspector General of the National Police Service to restore sanity in the security of the country, adding that the directives shall take effect on March 31. 

The directives will include ensuring that the police oversee public safety during demonstrations of any type.

The CS also said the measures will also enhance security for all Kenyans and foreign nationals in Kenya to ensure that no person is exposed to insecurity. 

Kindiki said that he will provide security to all persons whose private property has been violated and or looted during the protests.

The same will apply to any other person with established, well-founded fear or apprehension that their property is or may be the target of violation, destruction, and or looting.

"All streets, estates and neighbourhoods in Nairobi, Kisumu, and any other place where there are reasonable grounds to believe that violent protests may erupt in the future be provided with round-the-clock security to ensure that law-abiding persons go about their activities without intimidation, threats or disruption of their daily activities," the CS said.
