Over the years, he said Kenya Security Agencies have thwarted and continue to thwart numerous terrorist attempts besides recovering caches of arms and arresting several terrorist suspects from Dadaab Refugee Complex.
“For instance those who kidnapped Teacher Judy Mutua in October last year planned and executed their plot at Dadaab Refugee Complex,” he pointed out.
