Interior Permanent Secretary (PS) Karanja Kibicho has said the government will soon launch a project that will see all police stations in Mombasa fenced.
Speaking on Friday, Kibicho said walls will be built around the 10 police stations in the county, in a bid to boost security.
This comes after three al-Shabaab suspects were shot dead following a botched attack on the Mombasa Central Police Station that left two police officers injured.
The PS further directed all the officers commanding police stations (OCSs) to come up with a budget, adding that the project should be over by the end of the year.
“By end of the year, all the 10 police stations in Mombasa will be secured with perimeter walls and have only one entry and exit gate. OCSs should submit their budgets immediately,” said Kibicho, as quoted by Nation.
The PS assured Kenyans of security, saying that although terrorists are devising new oways, the government will always be there to counter them.
Mr Kibicho was accompanied by Mombasa County Commissioner Evans Achoki and Coast Regional Coordinator Nelson Marwa.
