The Shakahola deaths, banditry and increased Al-Shabaab attacks have cast a shadow over President William Ruto's national security record and exposed Kenya's security weaknesses. Over the past year, Al-Shabaab attacks inside the country have intensified, raising concerns among Kenyans and prompting increased vigilance. Information from the Interior Ministry reveals a growing network of home-grown terrorists within Al-Shabaab, with local insurgents having different ethnic profiles. On Tuesday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki announced the release of a list of 19 terror suspects, including individuals and companies. Duale appealed to local leaders to unite against Al-Shabaab, stressing that victory in this war on terror is achievable through unity and vigilance.
