Musalia Mudavadi’s appointment as Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary signifies a strategic shift in Kenya’s security leadership. The veteran politician, with over three decades of public service experience, has already initiated significant reforms in security.
“My immediate focus is ensuring seamless coordination of security agencies during this transition period,” Mudavadi declared during his first briefing at Harambee House. He outlined a comprehensive security strategy that includes enhanced surveillance and intelligence gathering.
Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo confirmed that all regional security committees have been activated. “We have established a 24-hour command centre to monitor security nationwide,” he stated. “Our priority is maintaining peace and order during this transition.”
Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome reported increased police deployment across the country. “We have mobilised 10,000 officers to enhance security in all major towns and critical infrastructure,” he confirmed during a joint security briefing.
The acting CS has also announced plans to review the ministry’s operational procedures. “We are implementing technology-driven solutions to enhance our security response capabilities,” Mudavadi explained. The ministry has allocated Ksh 500 million for immediate security enhancements.
