The National Police Service Border Patrol Unit has told the Senate that the lack of security roads along international boundaries in the country is hampering patrols.

The Commandant of the Border Patrol Unit (BPU) Gitiba Mwita told the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations that the existence of some ungoverned spaces, occupation by Kenyans, lack of demarcations and delimitation of boundaries are some of the challenges the unit faced.
