While we lay at night hopeful in the fruits of tomorrow if today has been rough, on the dark side, deals are signed to cut short our precious breath by the same men tasked with protecting us.

The Somalia Report 2018, released on Tuesday by the Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group (SEMG), paints a rather disturbing picture of the misplaced loyalties of some of the security officers Kenya has deployed to protect itself, and reveals, for the first time, how the Somalia-based militants are routinely allowed to cross over to Kenya to kill and maim.

Police officers at the Kenya-Somalia border let in five Al-Shabaab suicide bombers in February this year after receiving bribes, a new United Nations report that lays bare how Kenyan security forces routinely accept cash gifts from as low as Sh 2,000 from terror militants to wave them through, reveals.

During a routine patrol in Merti, Isiolo, still in February this year, police arrested two suspected Al-Shabaab operatives Abdimajit Hasan Adan and Mohammed Nanne Osman as they drove a vehicle laden with bombs intended for a complex attack in Nairobi, which the UN says would have been the most significant Al-Shabaab attack outside Somalia since the Garissa University College massacre of April 2015.

An investigation into a foiled attack in the same February this year further revealed that Al-Shabaab operatives crossed the Kenya-Somalia border five times in three months, detected but unobstructed, by giving Sh 2,000 bribes to security forces.

Four of the five rifles seized by the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit during an operation to foil an attack on key installations in Nairobi had been imported by Somalia’s Federal Government in 2013 following the partial lifting of the arms embargo under United Nations Security Council resolution 2093, the report shows.

The UN notes that, in all of Adan’s and Nanne’s numerous journeys back and forth across the porous Kenya-Somalia border, they seemed not to encounter any resistance with Kenyan security forces manning the border.

If they did, they did not reveal that information to the interrogating officers in Nairobi after they were arrested.

The UN also expresses concern that some of the operatives involved in the Nairobi plot and who managed to escape from the security forces, may still be at large in Kenya, and probably plotting another attack.

“Several known members of the plot escaped arrest, and the attacking team which likely comprised five individuals, on the basis of the number of captured rifles may still be at large in Kenya,” the report states.

Do you believe Kenya is safe fro this threats?
