Kenya has today handed over Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to the Kenya Police Service to help them in their duties to defend citizens across the country.
President Uhuru Kenyatta commissioned the APCS, and said "the purchase is a very important milestone in our drive to secure the frontier areas of our country. "
"This way, Police will not be dependent on the military or other security agencies for them to perform their duties," Kenyatta said.
"These will enable them to increase their mobility and protective gear when deployed in volatile areas."
