| 肯尼亚政府计划严厉打击犯罪行为-1 In a speech broadcast live on national television and radio, Kenya's official government spokesman, Alfred Mutua, appealed for public help in apprehending nearly 24 men suspected of carrying out fatal carjackings and robberies in recent weeks. "The police today will issue a list of at least 20 wanted very dangerous armed criminals who are roaming the streets and living in your neighborhoods. If you know where they are, tell us so that we can round them up." Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has expressed concern about the rise in violent crime, especially in and around the capital, where diplomats and foreigners have been targeted along with many Kenyans. The police estimate at least 50 civilians and security officials have been killed in the past two months in incidents related to violent crime. Most attackers have been armed with unlicensed AK-47 assault rifles, which the Kenyan government says are being smuggled in from war-ravaged Somalia and sold on the streets of Nairobi and elsewhere in the country. Kenya has strict laws against possession of unlicensed weapons, and people who use them to commit crimes could face the death penalty. But Government Spokesman Mutua says the laws are often ignored because of lax enforcement. |
