Investing in drones with ability to conduct night-time security surveillance will greatly enhance Kenya's security, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has opined.
While speaking on Citizen TV on Wednesday, May 14, Murkomen proposed the introduction of high-tech drones as he expressed his desire for more resources in the security sector. "If I had a wishlist, my first wish would be technology.
Our dream and which is within our plan is to have more drones, and not just the simple drones, the ones that have longer flight capability and night-vision," Murkomen stated. "I think that if you have that, you cut your costs in terms of surveillance because it helps you do better surveillance," he added.
