Kenyan Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on Thursday sought to allay fears of insecurity, saying his ministry and security personnel have put in place strict measures.

The CS said citizens need not fear since Kenya is ready to deal with any security threat posed by terrorism.

Dr Matiang’i spoke during an impromptu inspection at Thika Road Mall in Nairobi, which about 18,000 to 20,000 people frequent daily.

He assessed the level of preparedness to tackle security threats.

NAIROBI READY

The CS pointed out that radicalism and terror are trends that have now morphed into arbitrary occurrences, hence the country’s need to prepare to live with that fact but find ways to counter the threats.
