@InteriorKE@IG_NPS 2 years line since its inception, guarding duties & scarecrow deterrence techniques & Al Shabaab's passion for targeting Comms towers in North Eastern aside. What has the CIPU achieved to aid the bigger National Security picture ? @ajfactual52@alaminkimathi
Critical infrastructure being the various physical, systems & assets vital to Kenya. Where their incapacitation or destruction has a debilitating impact on our physical, economic security, public health & or safety. What has the CIPU achieved especially without proper backing?
I dare say proper backing, simply because the yester years NDOC Kenya now rather defunct thanks to @FredMatiangi's genius is a dead horse, & would have for starters have served as a lead agency in policy formulation & coordination functionalities @Anon1KENYA@chothep@BasilioCC
@NDOCKenya formulation in 1999, was simply setting stage for Infrastructure Security Services policy formulation & directly linking it to the National Disaster Risk Mgmt agenda. A gap the @NPSOfficial_KE is not at all well poised to address. So again how does the CIPU function?
CIPU is supposed to work with businesses, communities, & Govt partners at all levels to provide training, tools & resources related to critical infrastructure security.Not just armed guarding such facilities. Without a body like @NDOCKenya in play how do we expect it to deliver?
Or undertake the much needed efforts focusing around raising awareness among the broader community on the need for critical infrastructure security, resilience & enhancing prep'dness & threat prevention efforts?
Without policies, proper oversight & a systematic approach in place. How does CIPU prioritize soft target security. Yet Govt, law enforcement, owners, operators & we the public all share responsibility for securing these soft targets ?
In essence CIPU is duty bound to provide training on a range of topics related to critical infrastructure security, including bombing prevention & active shooter prep'dness for example. Lest we forget, Dusit attack mayhem & its aftermath is a stark reminder !
As part of the would be National Infrastructure Protection Plan. CIPU is duty bound to develop & implement, Sector-Specific Plans that focus on the unique operating conditions & risk landscape within each sector. The question here is, can they ? @NjokiMwarumba@PWMasakhwe_PhD
Sector-Specific Plans establish goals & priorities for each sector. Addressing current risk environment, the nexus between physical security & emergency mgmt, interdependence between various sectors, associated risks, outdated infrastructure, & the need to ensure continuity.
ESS provides a wide range of prevention, prep'dness, response, & recovery services during both day-to-day operations & incident response. It must include geographically distributed facilities & equipment in both paid & volunteer capacities organized primarily at County level.
The mission being to save lives, protect property & the environment, assist communities impacted by disasters, & aid recovery during emergencies. Five distinct disciplines compose the ESS, encompassing a wide range of emergency response functions & roles:
@NMS_Kenya The residents say, firefighters took too long to get to the scene. When they eventually arrived, couldn’t extinguish the fire due to dilapidated state of the equipment. Is this true ? Over to you Gen.Badi. Thread. @Ibrahimjohnny@Hitlerlaw2 kenyans.co.ke/news/62773-fir…
By the time @MikeSonko was impeached, he had added another 26 new trucks & 3 new Fire Stns were pending commissioning. @NMS_Kenya was on record too, having rehabilitated others. So how come equipment is being reported dilapidated? @siambiliki@ParassisO@waluwande@WanjikuRevolt
@NMS_Kenya@StateHouseKenya On 6/10/20 Uhuru Kenyatta flagged off recovered Emergency Response vehicles that had been grounded for several years. These were meant to aid service delivery under the NMS. But, forgot to flag off brains supposed to compliment the same ? Thread.
Even without accounting for the COVID-19 pandemic, itself an opportunity for the well connected to fleece us. Disasters in waiting form the biggest chunk of the ever growing crises waiting to plague Nairobi County & her susceptible areas. But who cares ?
This vulnerability continues to remain misunderstood, yet it includes a critical combination of various aspects @NMS_Kenya is poorly equipped to address. This including & not being limited to Nairobi's built environment, governance, & underlying social vulnerabilities.
That Aviation has potential to make an important contribution to Kenya's economic growth & development. Or air transport can open, connect markets, facilitate trade & enable Kenyan firms link with global supply chains, aside. Are we really honest, with KQ & or the inflicted woes?
Yet KQ plays an especially pivotal role in just-in-time our manufacturing production & in speeding fresh produce from agricultural communities in Kenya as a developing economy to markets in the industrialised world ?
@StateHouseKenya Mr. President.
With our hazards history, impacts of which continue to affect, many especially the poor. Having a limping @InteriorKE as lead State Dept & populating it with a Hitler for CS & Mussolini for PS to address disasters is a crime against humanity, Sir!
We can blame it on all manner of causative factors & excuses. But the bottom line is, @InteriorKE as a State Dept in charge of Disaster Mgmt is a failure the leadership therein insensitive to boot & guilty of ineptitude where the subject matter is concerned.
@InteriorKE continues to fail miserably especially in the role of providing support & technical assistance to both National & County Govts jurisdictions. Something the @NDOCKenya used to try doing before, its mandate was usurped by the GSU Hqs based wannabes. the police run NDMA.
@MOH_Kenya Dr.Mercy Mwangangi. Madam I don't have to be a Med Dr, or Virologist to agree or disagree with your ''Kwata Kawaya'' declaration in Othaya. But lets face the facts here...By looking at our Nonpharmaceutical Interventions at an indepth... Thread. kenyans.co.ke/news/58139-cas…
