State must ensure our territorial integrity is protected at all times

In what is manifestly a violation of Kenya's sovereignty, 50 heavily armed Ethiopian soldiers and policemen are reported to have crossed into Kenya in a convoy of vehicles and occupied a police station in North Horr. The reason for this aggression remains unclear.

It is instructive that a foreign army can drive unchallenged 16km inside Kenya, occupy a police station, accomplish their mission and leave unmolested. This is said to be the third time Ethiopian troops have crossed into Kenya this year alone, yet there is very little the Government has done, either by way of a diplomatic "protest" or securing the area against such raids by a foreign army.
