Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has warned Kenyans of a possible terrorist attack during the festive season.
He said on Tuesday that intelligence reports indicated Somalia-based Al-Shabaab group was planning an attack in the country.
"The terror threat remains a reality, and we, therefore, call upon members of the public to remain vigilant particularly in places with high concentration of people," he said in a statement.
"These includes beaches, restaurants, and clubs as well as places of worship. Any suspicious person or activities should be reported promptly to the police."
Militant group, Al-Shabaab, is known for launching attacks when Kenyans are celebrating during holidays or during the Christmas period.
Coast Regional Coordinator Nelson Marwa assured tourists that adequate security will be provided during the festive season.
"I want to tell all those who want to visit the Coastal region that we are vigilant and we assure them of their safety during and after the festive season," he said as quoted by the Star.
