More border security over Somalia threat

At a joint press conference with Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmake, Mr Odinga called on the international community to consider sending “military assistance” to the war-torn nation to arrest the armed conflict.However, he was noncommittal on whether Kenya would send troops to Somalia.Somalia has remained largely lawless since 1991 , was deposed, plunging the country into decades of violence.Meanwhile, Mr Ojode has hinted at a major shake-up of the country’s police force once the task force on the law enforcers tables its report soon.
“We are not talking about one man, you are likely to see a full surgery of the police force once the report is out - probably next month,” he said. Added the Assistant minister, “People have been saying that we are not pro-reforms. This will be proved otherwise when the report comes out.”
He termed as 'isolated cases’ the increase in carjacking incidents around the city, adding that plans were underway to install more CCTV cameras to beef up security.
