Crime & Law Enforcement
[edit]The Crime & Law Enforcement section could use better wording in places ("Crime levels and safety have very much improved in Nairobi over recent years. Violent crime is rare but petty crime can still be an issue"). Also needs more/better sources. 2605:8D80:7500:9D91:2871:CBFF:FEAB:3C13 (talk) 01:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
