Kingsley Litali – Crime Shield Security
“Winning the OSPAS Security Director/Manager Award in Kenya feels like igniting a beacon in the shadows of our nation’s evolving threats a profound validation of relentless vigilance and innovative grit. It’s not just an accolade; it’s rocket fuel for bolder strategies, forging deeper alliances with fellow guardians, and elevating our collective shield against tomorrow’s unseen storms.
I am Grateful beyond measure, This awards is an inspiration for myself and peers alike. I was in the military and I felt that i could do more and took a chance on myself to create an impact in society. I have tried to gain entry in the OSPAS 4 years in a row and last year i made it as a finalist however i did not win.
I kept the faith and worked even harder Iam happy i was able to be noticed by the OSPAS team.This is not only an award to me but for all those who dare dream and channel the efforts to making the world a better place. Thank you OSPAS and the entire team who made this a dream come true. I encourage my colleagues in the industry not to relent ,not to give up but to keep pushing forward for iam a living testimony that it is possible. #Mungumbele.”

• A recognition of the effort, integrity and commitment I’ve brought to my role in the security sector.
• A strong motivation to raise the bar even further — to lead by example, uphold high standards, and continue growing professionally.
• A fantastic conversation-starter with peers, mentors and stakeholders that helps build credibility and trust in what I do.
• An exciting opportunity to leverage this recognition in new ways: for instance sharing best practices I’ve learned, mentoring others, and connecting with a wider network of professionals championing excellence in security.”
