“Security agencies will receive modern security equipment like Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAP), Armoured Personnel Carriers, and surveillance drones,” CTP Kenya stated on X.

”The first batch of the equipment worth Ksh 7 billion will arrive in the country by January 2024,” they added.

They say that the government is set to spend Ksh 37 billion in the next 5 years to enhance and technologize the security equipment in the country.

“According to Interior Cabinet Secretary @KindikiKithure, the government will spend Ksh 37 billion in the next five years to upgrade and modernize security equipment for security agencies,” they stated.

They have assured that the equipment will enable the security agencies to suppress terrorism and banditry in various parts of the country such as North Eastern and Lamu.
