Members of Parliament have supported a proposal seeking to establish a national digital system for tracking and monitoring police firearms in the country.

This follows a petition filed in Parliament, which seeks to bring reforms aimed at curbing the theft, misuse and unauthorised movement of police weapons.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula said his office received a petition from a Kenyan, Emmanuel Kelly Ojoo, calling for the establishment of a National Police Firearms Digital Detection and Tracking System.
