With the general election only eight months away, the Kenyan security apparatus has escalated covert operations to secure the country from threats as per the 2010 Constitution.
The Common borders are manned by an inter-agency team that profiles movement and activities at all entry points.
The inter-agency teams consist of the Police, intelligence, KRA, banking fraud detectives, and ICT professionals.

Alongside these are undercover snippers from various regiments of the GSU and anti-stock theft unit.
