In a bid to bolster the nation’s security apparatus, the Government has launched the Security Equipment Modernization Programme.
Through this initiative, the National Police Service and other formed units, according to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kithure Kindiki, will receive advanced personal protective gear, armored personnel carriers (APCs), mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles (MRAPs), drones, and gunship helicopters.
The objective is to enhance their capacity to prevent and respond to terror threats effectively.
The modernization program aims to equip security forces with state-of-the-art tools and technology, ensuring their readiness in safeguarding the country against acts of terrorism.
