The President also sent a message of condolence to the French Government following ISIS terrorists’ attacks around Paris on Friday night that claimed over 120 people.
President Kenyatta told Kenyans to be vigilant and volunteer information to security forces on terrorists and other criminals hiding in their midst.
He assured the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and other security agencies of support as they go about defending and protecting the country from criminals.

He said it was unfortunate that there were some Kenyan leaders who, instead of encouraging the KDF to remain firm in their commitment to protecting the country, had join the bandwagon of those criticizing the country’s security agents.
The President termed the allegations that the Kenyan troops in Somalia were collaborating with Al-Shabaab in the illegal charcoal and sugar trade, that recently appeared in some sections of the press, as “most ridiculous and misplaced”.
“Instead of commending our security forces who are making major sacrifices to defend and guard the country against terrorists, some Kenyan leaders are discouraging them by supporting the misplaced allegations,” the President said.
“We will stand firm with our security agents because we know the important role they play in keeping our country safe. You saw what happened in Paris where more than 150 people were killed by terrorists. Would you like us to allow these people to move freely in our country and harm us? Of course not,” the President said.
He added: “That is why we insist that our military and other Kenyan security agents must be give room to carry out their work without political interference.”
The Head of State said Kenyans are fully behind the KDF and they will not allow criminals kill innocent people.
He urged citizens to report to the authorities any suspicious persons before they carry out their evil intentions.
President Kenyatta also took issues with people who are criticizing the Government for borrowing money to implement key development projects.
He said the Government’s development projects will not be derailed by people who will do everything they can – including denying Kenyans essential services – to gain political mileage.
