At the end of the 90's and early 2000's,robberies with violence from armed gangsters increased to a high level that every sunset ushered to a nightmare to the residents of Subukia. This led to an uprising whereby community members formed vigilante groups to guard their areas of residence and staged demonstrations accusing the police for not offering adequate security to its people.
The above photos show angry residents block the Nakuru Nyahururu road at Subukia centre pressing the government to improve area security in the year 2002.
Two years later, another demonstration was carried after deaths and injuries succumbed to a number of people in their homes as a result of gun shots from armed robber's.
From this photo, the then member of Parliament Koigi WA Wamwere address the angry mob on the way forward the government was to bundle insecurity in Subukia area. He promised establishment of police posts in all areas far from the trading centre which later proved to be fruitful.
