According to government spokesperson, Eric Kiraithe, the threat posed by the Somali-based terror group should be viewed as outrageous.

“Al Shabaab has clearly stated that they wouldn’t mind destabilising this country and they’ve tried it several times and therefore hacking is a reality we cannot escape from," said Kiraithe.

Kiraithe was speaking in Mombasa where President Uhuru Kenyatta is currently transacting government business.
