Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery has unveiled a list of 90 criminal gangs terrorising Kenyans in various regions across the country.
The CS stated that the illegal groups would be arrested and charged in court as advised by Inspector General of police Joseph Boinnet.
Among those named in the gazette notice dated December 30 include the Gaza gang, which operates in Kayole, Superpower in Eastleigh and 42 Brothers that operates in Eastlands.
The criminal groups have been blamed for violence ranging from robbery, violent attacks, killing and shooting.
