dc.description.abstract | The study was done mainly to find out the effects of the various movements and activities
that take place along Kenya's national borders. The key focus was on the consequences
of these activities on Kenya's national security. This was done mainly through analysis of
secondary data though primary data from relevant officials was also sought. The effects
were found to be numerous and far reaching. They include illegal immigration, terrorism
advancement, smuggling, ethnic conflicts and the proliferation of the trade in small arms
and light weapons. Recommendations from the study include increase in the number of
control points, recruitment of more border control officers, better terms of service for the
officers, the provision of relevant tools and technology that will facilitate border
management and increased intelligence sharing among relevant agencies . | |
