Catholic and Anglican church leaders have demanded speedy enactment of laws that will help Kenya’s security organs in the fight against terrorism.

They called on the National Assembly and the Senate to move quickly to pass legislation that will “enhance the capacity of our security organs to deal with insecurity”.

In a strongly worded statement, the leaders criticised the inadequacies of the current security organs, saying that such a force was incapable of protecting Kenyans from terrorist attacks.

“We find poor coordination between our National Intelligence Service, the Kenya Police Service and the entire disciplined forces to be totally unacceptable.

“A police force bogged down by bureaucratic and weak command structures and an intelligence service that has lost touch with the realities on the ground can never be trusted to secure Kenyans,” said Archbishop Eliud Wabukala of the Anglican Church.
