In a significant move to bolster its fight against the Al Shabaab militia, Kenya is scaling up its security measures in the North Eastern region. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki announced on Thursday that security agencies in the region will receive well-equipped machinery to enhance their capabilities in combating the terrorist group.
The State has procured a substantial amount of mobility equipment, including Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAPs), to be distributed among security officers stationed in Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, and other areas facing the Al Shabaab threat. The move reflects the government's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the North Eastern, Upper Eastern, and Upper Coastal Regions, fostering an environment conducive to development and investment.
The initiative includes the recruitment and training of additional Kenya Police Reservists to supplement the efforts of multi-agency security officers. This strategic reinforcement aims to combat financiers, planners, and orchestrators of terror attacks in the region.
The government had previously pledged a substantial investment of Ksh20 billion ($138 million) for the modernization of police equipment to combat terror and banditry. In May of the previous year, CS Kindiki announced the allocation of an additional Ksh37 billion ($255.2 million) to further upgrade security equipment.
The first batch of equipment, including personal protective gear, is set to be distributed next week, with subsequent deliveries expected in the coming months. The comprehensive plan encompasses drones, modern surveillance equipment, as well as weapons, helicopters, and other aerial mobility resources.
Notably, this initiative follows the government's consistent efforts to protect police officers by ensuring they are well-equipped. Previous procurements, such as Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) in 2020, faced challenges due to mechanical breakdowns and attacks by militants.
CS Kindiki, while in Wajir, issued a stern warning to those involved in contraband trade, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, banditry, and cattle rustling. The government is determined to address these issues ruthlessly, underscoring its commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for local and external investment.
