In a statement shared on her official X account on Sunday, May 24, 2026, Omanga said many families are increasingly living in fear as cases of violence and disappearances continue to be reported in different parts of the country.
She noted that the growing insecurity is creating anxiety among communities, particularly among women and parents who are concerned about the safety of their children in daily life, both at home and in public spaces.
Omanga said the situation requires immediate attention from all relevant authorities, stressing that safeguarding citizens should remain a top priority for both national and county leadership structures.
She called for coordinated efforts to strengthen security measures, improve response systems, and ensure that reported cases are handled with urgency to restore public confidence.
According to her, the increasing number of reported incidents is contributing to a sense of uncertainty, with many households feeling exposed and vulnerable.
She urged security agencies to enhance their presence in affected areas and work closely with communities to prevent further incidents.
The aspirant further appealed to leaders across the political divide to avoid downplaying the concerns raised by citizens, saying that insecurity issues require collective responsibility rather than political division.
Her remarks come amid ongoing public discussions on safety concerns in urban and rural areas, with various leaders and civil society groups calling for stronger protection measures, particularly for vulnerable groups.
Omanga emphasized that women and children remain the most affected in most insecurity-related cases and therefore require targeted interventions to ensure their protection and dignity.
She also encouraged members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to authorities, while urging security agencies to respond promptly to distress calls.
The statement has sparked renewed debate online, with some Kenyans echoing her concerns and others calling for more concrete policy actions to address underlying causes of insecurity.
