Ngong Officer Commanding Station Jacob Ndunda has ordered a night curfew on children as the long school holidays begin. Under the directive, children in the town must stay indoors after 10 pm for the whole of the break. Ndunda gave the instruction while addressing residents, making clear the rule applies to minors across Ngong. He warned that any child found outside after the deadline risks being detained by police officers. School breaks usually mean more children spend their evenings on the streets, which is what the order is meant to curb. Local commands often tie such directives to concerns about petty crime and other risks that come with unsupervised night movement. Parents and guardians now carry the responsibility of keeping children within reach after dark. How strictly officers enforce the order will show whether the curfew actually changes behaviour during the holidays.
