The Interior Cabinet Secretary has sent a stern warning to those who vandalize railway lines, saying that they will be charged with terrorism.
“Those citizens who are storming the railways and destroying railway infrastructure, I want you to know that act is terrorism. Those who are engaged in that activity are enemies of Kenya, just like terrorists,” he said.

The CS stated that anybody found near protected sites, such as railways, will face charges under the Protected Sites Act.
"Any person discovered near a protected facility, including a railway or important water reservoir, will be dealt with under the Protected Areas Act. "It is the most serious and punitive law; it protects the State House," he said.

Kindiki oversaw the appointment of a new deputy county commissioner.
This comes after the government established extra administrative divisions in Makueni County to improve service delivery.
There is one sub-county, four divisions, twenty-eight locations, and forty-eight sub-locations dispersed throughout the county.
The new administrative entities will also improve security, public order, and law enforcement, creating a favorable atmosphere for socioeconomic development.
The increased law enforcement power is likely to reduce occurrences of vital infrastructure damage, particularly on railways, illegal brews, defilement, suicide, and human-wildlife conflict.
