NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 16 — DCI has launched a high-level training programme on Infrastructure Security and Resilience, aimed at strengthening the protection of Kenya’s critical installations against emerging global threats.
The intensive course, conducted in partnership with the Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA), brings together 24 security professionals drawn from the DCI and specialized units of the General Service Unit (GSU).
The programme is designed to bolster Kenya’s preparedness against asymmetric and adaptive threats targeting critical infrastructure, including energy systems, transportation networks, and communication platforms.
According to the DCI, the training signals a shift toward a more proactive, intelligence-led security posture, aimed at anticipating and neutralizing threats before they materialize.
In remarks delivered by Director of Complaints Bernard Nyakwakwa on behalf of the Director of Criminal Investigations, Mohammed Amin, the agency emphasized that safeguarding national infrastructure is a collective responsibility.
“The results of your success will be reflected in every functioning power grid, every secure communication, and every safe journey undertaken by a Kenyan citizen,” Amin said, challenging participants to approach the rigorous modules with intellectual objectivity and professional curiosity.
The Directorate noted that its collaboration with ATA underscores a shared commitment to strengthening Kenya’s national security architecture against both local and international adversaries.
The training is expected to enhance inter-agency coordination, operational readiness, and resilience planning, reinforcing the country’s capacity to protect installations vital to public safety, economic growth, and national development.
