The conference, which will be held at APTC Embakasi, will assess and examine the country’s readiness for the August elections.
Election administration requires a high level of security, which necessitates a thorough examination of the preparations.
Cops have been gathering and practicing drills.
This comes after the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) released a study identifying Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu as high-risk counties for possible election-related violence.
Other counties on the list, according to the commission’s Technical Committee head Danvas Makori, are Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, and Kericho.
Makori went on to say that there is a lot of hate speech in the country, which he considers to be a catalyst for violence.
Nairobi County has a high danger rating of 79.85 percent, followed by Nakuru at 75.77 percent, and Kericho at 74.81 percent, according to the Conflict Hotspot Mapping for Kenya report.
“Nairobi County is seen as the epicenter of political contestation in Kenya,” Makori said while breaking down the report.
Kisumu (72.46%), Uasin Gishu (72.25%), and Mombasa (72.25%) are among the counties with the highest risk of electoral violence (71.15 per cent).
According to Makori, ten counties have a medium high-risk Kenya Electoral Violence Index-County (KEVI-C) vulnerability, including Narok, Marsabit, Laikipia, Lamu, Baringo, Isiolo, Meru, Nandi, Samburu, and Bomet, whereas 23 counties have a medium low-risk susceptibility.
Kajiado, Kitui, Tharaka Nithi, Taita Taveta, Busia, Makueni, Nyandarua, and Embu counties were likewise identified as having a low probability of electoral violence in the survey.
