    "content": "security personnel by planting improvised explosive devices. The targeting of security personnel is partly due to the fact that they have sealed loopholes used to move contraband goods originating from Somalia. The returnees and sleeper cells exacerbated the security situation in the areas. The security situation has resulted in disruption of delivery of public goods and services in hotspot areas, especially education, health and infrastructure development, as well as loss of lives and livelihoods and destruction of property. The following additional resources or support have been provided to strengthen the capacity of the security personnel in Fafi Sub-County to respond to the recurring security threats. 1. Additional formed police units have been deployed to the sub-county, including the Quick Response Unit, General Service Unit, Special Operations Group and Border Patrol Unit. 2. Continuous training of security officers. 3. Use of armoured vehicles. 4. Use of surveillance equipment. The immediate and long-term measures put in place to address recurring terrorist attacks include: 1. Enhanced implementation of county action plans on countering violent extremism. 2. Sustained vigilance on online platforms that include Facebook, IMO and WhatsApp, mostly exploited by terror operatives to coordinate their activities. 3. Increased and enhanced patrols along the borders and security coverage of communication infrastructure. 4. Intelligence reports have been crucial in sighting suspected Al Shabaab militants, and necessary action has been taken to thwart their efforts. 5. Enhanced vigilance of both local community and refugees. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Security is our responsibility. As leaders, we should all take measures and steps to sensitise communities on their roles in helping security personnel. They should report all suspects within their areas of jurisdiction."
