DCI SENSITIZES RECRUITS ON COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has today concluded a two-day Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) sensitisation programme for General Service Unit (GSU) recruits at the National Police College, Embakasi ‘B’ Campus. The sensitisation, conducted by facilitators from the Directorate of CVE, sought to strengthen the recruits’ understanding of emerging terrorism and violent extremism threats, radicalisation processes, and contemporary extremist tactics increasingly driven by technological advancement and online influence. The training equipped the recruits with practical knowledge and skills aimed at enhancing their capacity to identify, prevent and respond to violent extremism and terrorism-related threats while safeguarding communities from radicalisation and recruitment into extremist networks. Key areas covered during the programme included radicalisation pathways and recruitment patterns, protective security awareness, identification of suspicious persons and activities, and evolving violent extremist threats in Kenya. Participants were also sensitised on Kenya’s legal and policy frameworks on countering violent extremism, and the role of the National Police Service in CVE. The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts by the Directorate to enhance the preparedness and operational effectiveness of security officers in addressing evolving security threats facing the country. The DCI reaffirms its commitment to strengthening national security through continuous capacity building, intelligence-led policing, multi-agency collaboration, and community-centred approaches aimed at preventing radicalisation, disrupting extremist networks, and protecting Kenyans from terrorism and violent extremism.

UNDERSTANDING POTA(Prevention of Terrorism Act) You Can Be Arrested Before An Attack Happens Many people believe terrorism-related arrests only happen after an attack takes place. Under Kenya’s Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), individuals can also face arrest and prosecution for: • possession of extremist materials • facilitating recruitment • planning attacks • supporting terror networks • travelling to jihad conflict zones • financing or assisting extremist activities Prevention laws exist to stop threats before violence occurs. Awareness of the law is also part of prevention. #CommunitySafety #POTA #TRCKE @NCTC_Kenya @ODPP_KE

SEE SOMETHING. SAY SOMETHING. Safe communities are built when people stay aware, look out for one another and speak up when something feels wrong. Many threats are prevented because someone noticed unusual behaviour or suspicious activity and chose to report it early. See something.Say something. Community vigilance and cooperation continue to play an important role in keeping people safe. #CommunitySafety #TRCKE @NCTC_Kenya @DCI_Kenya

@Omwenga_E @CopShakurkihara Read constitution

@CopShakurkihara Why then should they be military, if that's the case si ata nick can be ADC

After yesterday's security breach,Ruto's Aide won't be replaced,and Aide is not a bodyguard as many people think. An Aide-de-Camp (ADC) is always by the leader's side, their primary job is administrative, ceremonial, and protocol-based, not physical protection. ADC is Ruto's military personal assistant. The actual physical protection is handled by a completely separate team of specialized bodyguards and police.

In preparation and readiness for the upcoming Madaraka Day celebrations scheduled for 1st June, barely a week away, I led the National Celebrations Steering Committee on an inspection visit of Wajir Stadium and related infrastructure in Wajir County. The visit focused on assessing preparedness for the national event, including stadium readiness, logistical arrangements and supporting facilities to ensure a smooth and dignified celebration. With rehearsals already underway, teams on the ground are fine-tuning coordination, movement and program flow to guarantee seamless execution on the day of the celebrations. Present were the Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, General Charles Kahariri, host Governor Hon. Ahmed Abdullahi, colleague PS Ummi Bashir (Culture, Arts & Heritage), Principal Secretary for National Government Coordination in the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary, Hon Ahmed Abdisalan and Wajir East MP Hon. Adan Daud.

Over a two-day training, teachers, @EduMinKenya representatives, area chiefs, sub-chiefs, and local leaders came together for a Child Safety and Security Against Violent Extremism training aimed at equipping educators and communities with knowledge and skills to identify risks, promote safe learning environments, and protect children and youth from recruitment, radicalization, and exploitation by violent extremist groups in @Baringo_county. Together, we continue to build informed, vigilant, and resilient communities for a safer future. @ngaosKE @NPSOfficial_KE

SECURITY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY Keeping communities safe is a collective responsibility, not only the role of security agencies. Parents, Teachers, Religious leaders, Mentors, Friends, Communities etc. Everyone has a role to play in identifying harmful influence early, supporting vulnerable youth and encouraging safer spaces both online and offline. Prevention works best when awareness becomes part of everyday life. #CommunitySafety #TRCKE @NCTC_Kenya @NPSOfficial_KE @DCI_Kenya

I have lived in #Djibouti for more than two years now. It’s so beautiful to see women in this country transform their families' lives through small businesses that support livelihoods and strengthen communities. The hot season in Djibouti doesn’t stop them. They courageously endure the sunny days, so that at the end of the day, they have something to give back to their families. They inspire me day after day. Today in Djibouti, IGAD’s Executive Secretary, H.E @DrWorkneh handed over outdoor market umbrellas to Women Initiative Djibouti to support local women in growing their daily economic activities. Together with recent capacity-building trainings under the @IGADgender, today’s gesture reflects our continued commitment to women’s economic empowerment across the region. #IGADAt40

SECURITY OPERATION DISMANTLES AL-SHABAAB CAMP AT QANJARA DUROW IN DIGDIGA A joint and coordinated security operation in the Digdiga general area has led to the dismantling of a suspected Al-Shabaab camp at Qanjara Durow. During the operation, security personnel established a presence near Gel Qad Junction before advancing towards Qanjara Durow, where they encountered suspected militants and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. They overpowered the Al-Shabaab militants and secured the area. The team further dismantled the camp after neutralising more militants who were present. Upon searching the camp, the team recovered assorted materials linked to militant activities, including communication equipment, improvised explosive device (IED)-related materials, uniforms, ammunition, food supplies, and other logistical items. The recovered materials have been secured for further examination as investigations continue. The National Police Service remains committed to protecting communities and sustaining operations aimed at degrading criminal and extremist activities. Members of the public are encouraged to continue reporting suspicious activities to the nearest police station or via the emergency numbers 999 or 911, or through the #FichuaKwaDCI toll-free line 0800 722 203 and WhatsApp number 0709 570 000.

One-Stop Shop service outreach | Bulla Pamoja, Garissa. Access to essential government services is a cornerstone of inclusive development. The @RCKKenya, in collaboration with @HudumaKenya, convened a One-Stop Shop service outreach in Bulla Pamoja, Garissa, bringing critical services directly to residents under the Area-Based Livelihood Initiative (ABLI) project, funded by @EUinKenya. The outreach brought together service providers across key government agencies, offering 60 residents on-site access to civil registration, including birth certificates, Kenya Revenue Authority, Social Health Authority (SHA), and a range of other Huduma Centre services, all under one roof, in their own neighborhood. For refugee and host community members, these are more than administrative documents, they are tools for self-reliance. A birth certificate opens the door to education and legal identity. KRA registration unlocks the ability to formalize a business and access credit. SHA enrolment ensures that a health crisis does not derail a household's economic stability. Together, these documents form the foundation upon which individuals can build dignified, independent livelihoods. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to last-mile service delivery and the principle that no one should be left behind in accessing public services, regardless of their background or status. @KRACare @_shakenya @MOH_Kenya @ECHO_CESAfrica @drckenya @inkomokoKenya @RefugeesSeat @IGADHealthS @HIASAfrica @FondazioneAVSI @BrighterMonKE @Equal_Reach @RESCUEorg @JesuitRefugee @ki4bli @KituoSheria @Kiva @Konexio_eu @MigrationPulseH @NRC_EAY @PWJ_Kenya @RefugeeInvest @WeAreRefuSHE @hope2shine @WorldRelief @Vodafone_LEJOG @KeEquityBank @SafaricomFDN @KCBInKenya

Kenya remains steadfast in advancing partnerships and innovative solutions that protect biodiversity while fostering sustainable development for our people and the planet. Today, we will be at Tebe Grounds, Kapyego in Elgeyo Marakwet for the launch of the CHERISH Programme, presided over by Deputy President @_KithureKindiki reaffirming our commitment to conservation, community resilience and sustainable environmental stewardship. Together, let us act boldly for #BiodiversityDay2026 #ActLocallyImpactGlobally #CHERISHProgramme

MANIPULATION FEEDS EMOTIONS Most people are targeted through emotions tied to misinformation and issues that affect them directly. Not every piece of misinformation looks false. Sometimes it appears to be exactly what people want to hear. That is why harmful narratives often spread by triggering:• fear• anger• frustration• identity• emotion before facts When emotions are constantly manipulated online, critical thinking becomes weaker and harmful narratives spread faster. It is always wise to seek facts before taking action. Digital literacy is now a form of protection. #CounterExtremism #DigitalSafety #TRCKE @NCTC_Kenya

📍 #Kalobeyei, #TurkanaCounty At the launch of the Sheria Information Hub today, one message came through clearly: access to information is a powerful driver of economic empowerment. For many refugees and host community members, the path to starting a business, finding decent work, or accessing essential services is often shaped by limited information, and a lack of guidance. 🎯The Sheria Information Hub is a supportive space where people can find clarity, guidance, and the confidence to take meaningful steps toward economic and social participation. Whether it is understanding work permit applications, navigating business registration, or making sense of tax requirements and legal processes, the hub helps simplify systems that are key to building sustainable livelihoods and economic independence. Beyond information, it also connects people to business support services, mentorship, and community networks that open doors to opportunity, strengthen entrepreneurship, and support growth with dignity. #KeepingHopealive #SheriaInformationHub #EconomicInclusion

Your algorithm is not neutral. What we constantly consume online shapes: • perception • emotion • beliefs • behavior Algorithms are designed to keep attention, often by amplifying emotionally charged content, outrage, fear and division. Over time, repeated exposure can create echo chambers that reinforce harmful narratives and isolate people from alternative perspectives. This is why digital literacy and critical thinking matter more than ever. Be intentional about what you consume online. #DigitalSafety #CounterExtremism #TRCKE @NCTC_Kenya
