    "content": "(10) The Government has partnered with various countries and international organizations to develop initiatives to counter violent extremism in Kenya. Already, for example, there is a joint initiative by NCTC and the Danish Government in training prison and probation officers on early detection, reporting and handling indicators of violent extremism. (11) There is continuous training to enhance capacity among the security agencies on techniques of detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorists and violent extremism. (12) There is up-scaling of security operations to map out suspected violent extremism in refugee camps and other areas. (13) There is heightened monitoring of blog posting and social sites with a view to disrupt likely plans of terrorist activities and initiation of citizen security programmes to reduce crime and violence in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as this statement was being prepared, sadly, the country witnessed another barbaric attack on a church in Mombasa. This underscores what I said before this House last week; that the issue of attacks on places of worship and spiritual leaders is not constrained to Muslim clerics or places of worship. It is across the faiths. The Government condemns any acts, practice or activity that reduces our places of worship into theatres of violence and murder. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I hereby table the supplementary information regarding the police raid on Masjid Musa Mosque in Mombasa County."
