NAIROBI, 11 June, 2021 (TON): On Wednesday, the Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta presided over the burning of 5,144 illegal firearms and obsolete state-owned small arms and light weapons at the Regional Traffic Police Training Centre in Ngong, Kajiado County.

Uhuru said, “This is to those making illegal guns, come we make legal money and jobs. Come forward and declare you can make a gun and you will get a job. Don’t wait for the police to come for you.”

Kenyatta reiterated Kenya’s effort to collect illicit guns is in accordance with the African Union’s theme to silence guns in Africa by 2020.

Later, the leader further called for peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue, urging that Kenya’s government will engage all citizens in such endeavors.
