The Government will deploy additional police officers and patrol boats on Lake Victoria before the end of 2026 in a renewed effort to address insecurity affecting fishing communities along the Kenya-Uganda and Kenya-Tanzania borders.
Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Raymond Omollo said the planned deployment would strengthen surveillance, border patrol operations and the safety of fishermen operating in Kenyan waters.
Speaking during an engagement with Beach Management Units (BMUs) and business leaders in Migori County, Omollo said the Government had consulted the leadership of the Border Patrol Unit and the Director General of the Kenya Coast Guard Service on the planned security interventions.
