    "content": "For the avoidance of doubt, this is a Report that the President laid on the Table. We are coming to the end of our second Session because we anticipate to go on recess on 4th December, 2014. This report should be debated before we go on recess. We anticipate, as per the Constitution - the same Article - that the President will do a similar Report to the country early next year. In compliance with Article 240(7) and Section 16 of the National Security Council Act, 2012, this Report was given on 27th March, 2014 by the President. It is coming at the right time because yesterday, many hon. Members wanted to contribute to the Adjournment Motion on the security situation in our country. This Motion is the right time for hon. Members to discuss the myriad of challenges. I will go as per this Report because I am moving it. I will not go out of the Report. The threats to Kenya’s national security are evaluated from the national, regional and global levels. Key among the threats that we face as a country is terrorist attacks and armed incursions by the Al Shabaab militia or the terror network. Two, as a country, we are faced with radicalization of Kenyan youth into violent extremism.Three, we are a faced with a serious resource-based conflict among the many pastoral communities in the North Rift, North Eastern and parts of the Coast Province. Four, we have a serious challenge as far as poaching of wildlife is concerned. Trafficking of humans, drugs and contraband is a threat that we are facing as a country. We are faced with organized crime gangs. We are faced with cyber crime. We are faced with environmental and other natural disasters. We are faced with the influx of refugees. We host the biggest refugee camp in the entire world. In addressing all those threats, of course, the magnitude of those threats differs. In addressing those security threats and challenges, the Government undertook a number of measures. Those measures include strategies on the formation of a Counter Terrorism Institute; the formation of a cyber- security network within the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and involvement The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
