Gov’t on high alert over Al-Shabaab terror attacks

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen says security installations in the country are on high alert following recent attacks orchestrated by Al-Shabaab militants.

Speaking in Embu County during the culmination of the Upper Eastern Jukwaa la Usalama security assessment forum, CS Murkomen urged members of the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities in their area to the authorities.

“This is a sensitive issue that requires a high level of responsibility on every part of us. Sometimes we amplify the success of the enemy without looking at the success of our men in uniform,” he said.

“It is the responsibility of every citizen in this country to support our security officers as we combat this enemy who has really not been contained in their own country.”

The forum sought to bring together residents, police, and the local administration to discuss security challenges facing the region.
