Kenya: DCI strikes agreement with two European countries in fight against terrorism


The DCI on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with United Kingdom and Northern Ireland on acquiring new equipment to be used to fight terrorism.

DCI boss George Kinoti noted that the deal will help enhance security in the country.
