Kenya's national security is in jeopardy due to inadequate funding to sustain security operations on the borders, the National Intelligence Service has warned.
Director General Noordin Haji on Monday, May 12, raised concern about security on the country's borders, as he claimed agencies had to make do with outdated equipment due to chronic underfunding.
Haji made the revelations while speaking before the National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, where he compared Kenya's situation to neighbouring countries, who he believes are better poised to deal with security threats. "If you look at Uganda, you have the Karamojong and other communities crossing into Kenya for cattle rustling.
They've even encroached on some of our land," Haji observed.
