Speakers at the panel were very adamant about the need for regulation and oversight of the private security sector whether as international standards (Daniel Shepherd) or local regulations (Stephen Kirimi, Njeri Kururu). The panel also raised the important issue of proper education for actors of the industry, knowledge that will and must be properly applied by taking the environmental factors into account. The structuring of the private security sector through education and the establishment of regulation would help not only change perceptions but improve the quality and efficiency of the industry.
