President William Ruto will on Thursday host more than 5,000 private security guards at State House, Nairobi, in what is set to be the first-ever engagement between a Kenyan Head of State and workers from the country’s private security industry. An invitation issued on Tuesday by the Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA) directed private security companies, industry associations and the Kenya National Private Security Workers Union to send representatives to the meeting. Ruto has been hosting a series of meetings at State House in his quest for re-election. Established under the Private Security Regulation Act, the PSRA is mandated to regulate the industry, license service providers and promote professionalism among private security providers. Thursday’s gathering is the latest in a series of engagements President Ruto has held at State House with organised groups.
