GARISSA Kenya July 4 -Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki Tuesday July 4 embarked on a tour of the northern counties for talks with local security and intelligence committees following increased terror attacks in the region.
The CS is also expected to meet other local leaders and residents in Wajir, Mandera, and Garissa counties.
Following increased attacks, the government has enhanced deployment and security operations in the region.
CS Kindiki has vowed to defeat al Shabaab activities in the area.
“The Government shall defeat alShabaab and all violent extremists who continue to threaten our national security and destabilise communities in North Eastern Kenya,” he said.
His visit comes just a day after gunmen raided a village in Garissa County and killed one person leaving two others with serious injuries.
The gang attacked Bula Hodan’s Wagberi Ward on Monday July 3 morning before leaving, police said.
