Interior CS Kithure Kindiki revealed this strategy during a session with the National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Education. The plan includes pooling teachers together and providing them with secure accommodations in these regions. The government aims to make the security of teachers in these areas a top priority, especially considering that over the past decade, 37 teachers have been killed by terrorists, and many others have been injured in such attacks.

This new strategy will involve enhanced patrols and heightened security measures in schools located in unsafe regions. The government also plans to collaborate with local communities to gather information on potential security threats. In the long term, the government aims to eliminate the threat of terrorism, restore peace and stability, and encourage investment and development in these affected regions.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) have expressed reservations regarding the cryptocurrency project Worldcoin. In a joint statement, the two government agencies outlined security concerns related to the project, including data privacy issues and cyber security risks. They have also questioned the basis for the cash reward scheme offered to Kenyan registrants. This article will delve into the concerns raised by the CA and ODPC and the subsequent suspension of Worldcoin operations.
These efforts come in the wake of recent terror attacks, including one along the Lamu-Witu Garsen Highway that resulted in two deaths. The attacks primarily target civilians, security officers, critical infrastructure, as well as teachers and other professionals working in these areas. Kindiki also addressed questions related to the shortage of birth registration materials and the emergence of criminal groups affiliated with terrorist organizations in the country.
