NGEC Chairperson Hon. Rehema Jaldesa has called for the full operationalisation of the Nanyuki POLICARE Centre before any other POLICARE Centre is established elsewhere in the country.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ forum in Nanyuki attended by Laikipia Deputy Governor Reuben Kamuri, BATUK, NPS and other stakeholders, Jaldesa said the Centre must be adequately resourced to deliver comprehensive, survivor-centred services.

Some rules are meant to be broken.
Meet Patricia Naitore, a vehicle mechanic with @BATUKOfficial, whose journey took her from working as a cleaner to becoming a skilled mechanic.
She worked, studied, trained and kept pushing forward.
#RulesWeBroke
Our Royal Engineer Support Team (REST) has completed road improvement works in Kinamba #laikipianorth & restored fire breaks across the Sosian Training Area.
This will provide safer & more reliable routes for Kinamba, Swara, Sosian & Ol Maisor communities & reduce journey times.

After 4 weeks of Ex RANGE SWEEP in Archer's Post Training Area, we are all set for Ex HARAKA STORM!

The successful completion of Exercise RANGE SWEEP 2026 demonstrates continued commitment to protecting local communities, safeguarding the environment & maintaining safe military training areas by the British Army & the Kenya Defence Forces.

To mark this year's #WorldRangersDay, we joined @KWSKenya for a clean-up of the Nanyuki River, collecting numerous bags of litter—particularly plastic waste.
The clean-up will help prevent pollution from reaching the Ewaso Ng'iro River, into which the Nanyuki River flows.
As we prepare for #ExerciseHarakaStorm, our #CSR continues!
Our Workshop department refurbished 2 classes at Ndururi Sch by installing new roof, concrete flooring & repainting. Established in 1961, the school classes have ran down, making learning hard, esp when it rains.
The work was made possible thro' incredible efforts of our military personnel, who raised funds by participating in @NBOcitymarathon & completing endurance challenges — running & indoor cycling. We look forward to continued partnership with the school.
