NAIROBI (Halbeeg News) – Kenyan Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki Tuesday vowed to defeat al-Shabaab activities in the areas of northeatern and Coastal regions of Kenya.
Kindiki on Tuesday embarked on a tour of the northern counties for talks with local security and intelligence committees, leaders, and residents on how to defeat terrorism.
He will visit Wajir, Mandera, and Garissa counties amid increased attacks.
“The government shall defeat al Shabaab and all violent extremists who continue to threaten our national security and destabilise communities in Northeastern Kenya,” he said.
Kindiki had said the government will do all it takes to fight and end the terror menace in the country.
“We have already set aside Sh20 billion to purchase advanced security equipment, including armoured personnel carrier vehicles, drones and other gadgets so that our security agencies get proper safety as they effectively fight the terrorists,” Kindiki said.
The terror group has increased attacks in Kenya in a renewed trend that has left more than 30 people dead in the past month alone near the Kenya-Somalia border.
