Bouncers Association of Kenya has been urged the govt to permit its members to possess weapons for personal defense.
The group officials said on Tuesday that some of its members have only ever worked as security workers.
The association’s head, Brian Omondi, stated that members deal with a variety of life-threatening risks and should be prepared to handle such situations.
“Every day our members of the security stewards deal with threats from people who have licensed firearms or those who are unlicensed. We deal with robbers and terrorists and different kinds of threats,” Mr Omondi said.
Mr Omondi also said it is very important for members of their organization to know gun safety.
“We want the government to address some of our welfare concerns and ensure that the rights of all members and their place in society can be properly secured,” he said.
Bouncers mainly work in nightclubs and are responsible for ensuring revelers are safe within the premises.
