Defense Cabinet Secretary Adan Duale has defended the executive's decision to deploy the army in support of the national police service. According to Duale, the primary objective of the deployment is to maintain peace and order across the country. Additionally, the army will be tasked with closely guarding critical government infrastructure in all 47 counties. Duale argues that while citizens have the right to protest, they must protect the unity of Kenyans. Duale's remarks come amidst growing concerns about the role of the military in civilian affairs. Critics argue that such deployments could potentially infringe on civil liberties and democratic processes. However, Duale remains resolute; emphasizing that the move is well within the constitution. He was speaking during a fundraiser at daba village in Tana River.
