    "content": "To counter all these threats that I have enumerated, the Government has implemented a number of factors that include the establishment of an Inter-Agency Co-ordination Unit to enhance international synergy in the war against terrorism. The Government is working with our neighbours in the Horn of Africa, through the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) forces. Indeed, the Government has ensured that it works together with the governments of Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Sudan to eliminate all forms of global terrorism in our region. The other thing the Government has done to counter these threats is to enhance security vigilance within and around key strategic installations and targeted facilities. The Government has also sustained ground, aerial and maritime surveillance by the KDF. Other things it has done are the implementation of the National Counter-Radicalisation Strategy Paper and the creation of a financial reporting centre in order to analyse financial transactions. The Government is working with the law enforcement agencies to detect and prevent financial crimes within the financial sector, be it terrorism-related or drug money, and building the capacity of our security agents through the hiring of additional 10,000 police personnel annually and provision of modern equipment. As a result of this multi-sectoral intervention and Kenyans’ collaborative efforts in the national security, the country was more secured from external threats. As such, there was an increase in the number of foreign tourists and investors from our traditional partners. That gave us more resources and, therefore, growth in our economy. The local community also benefitted from improved street lighting and expanded electricity supply across the country and such provisions created a favourable and secure working environment."
