Security has been tightened ahead of the Christmas festive season in anticipation of high numbers of both local and international tourists.

County Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha told The Standard Thursday that all regular and Administration police officers who were on leave had been recalled.

"Government has taken stringent measures to ensure that people are safe as they make merry. Security officers will conduct regular patrols," he said.
