The terror attack on Westgate Mall in 2013 brought out not only our resilience as Kenyans but also revolutionized the state of security. Since then, our security agencies have adopted serious counter-terror measures to ensure the safety of Kenyans and foreigners alike.
The incident saw an increased use of metal detectors at the entrance of most business premises. Surveillance was also been enhanced to thwart not just terror activities, but other crimes as well.
I would confidently say our security agencies have done a good job. Terror activities have gone down drastically and tourism, which was most affected, is slowly recovering even as tourists, especially foreign, regain their confidence in our country.
However, much more still remains to be done before we are free from all threats.
