UK, Northern Ireland donate equipment to DCI for anti-terror operationsThe Directorate of Criminal Investigations has received equipment that will help in investigations on anti terrorism operations. “The equipment will be used to gather evidence on authorised operations,” DCI said. On Thursday, a Cabinet meeting in State House discussed and approved an agreement where Germany has offered to donate 1.8 million euros (Sh207 million) for the construction of a Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Centre (C-IED Centre). The C-IED Centre, which will be a constituent college of the International Peace Support Training Centre, will equip the Kenya Defence Forces personnel with the knowledge and technology to robustly detect and safely disarm IEDs. The C-IED Centre was deemed useful especially during the period that the KDF will remain in Somalia where IEDs are often used by Al Shabaab militia.
