GuardNow Security Group CEO Urges Vigilance in Places of Worship in heightened Political Season

 As the nation navigates a heightened political season, GuardNow Security Group has issued a public advisory calling for increased vigilance in religious spaces. The advisory, signed by Chief Executive Officer Dr. Peter Mwangi, emphasizes the need to safeguard worshippers and clergy during this sensitive period.  

Dr. Mwangi, who is also a United Nations Peace Ambassador, who has been recognized for his commitment to harmony and peace. He is a recipient of the Human Harmony Award from the United Nations and the Visionary Peace Award from the International Peace Studies Institute. His leadership in both security and peace advocacy underscores the importance of protecting sacred spaces during times of political tension.  

“Religious spaces are sacred and must remain safe havens for prayer, reflection, and community,” Dr. Mwangi said in the statement.  

The advisory highlights several precautionary measures:  

- Worshippers should remain alert to suspicious behavior, unattended packages, or unusual activity.  

- Religious institutions are encouraged to establish controlled entry and exit points, with ushers or volunteers assisting in monitoring movement.  

- Congregations should be familiar with evacuation routes and emergency contacts.  

- Leaders are urged to maintain open communication with local law enforcement and security agencies for rapid response.  

- Worship spaces should remain neutral zones, discouraging political campaigning or debates that could escalate tensions.  

Dr. Mwangi further stressed the importance of community vigilance, urging congregants plus kenyans in general to look out for one another and report concerns immediately. “By remaining vigilant and cooperative, we can ensure that our places of worship continue to be sanctuaries of hope and resilience,” he added.  

GuardNow Security Group reaffirmed its commitment to supporting communities during this period, calling for unity, peace, and responsibility from both leaders and worshippers.
