Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called for enhanced collaboration between and among Eastern African States in tackling security challenges to spur development.
The Deputy President spoke when he addressed National security and intelligence chiefs from 15 States in Eastern Africa during the official opening of the Mashariki Cooperation Conference in Mombasa on Sunday.
“The Mashariki Cooperation Conference, which I officially opened in Mombasa this morning, gives our Sister States in the East African Region an opportunity to identify gaps and develop a common framework of cooperation and collaboration in security matters,” he said.
The conference, with a network of 15 Member States, brings together highly-skilled detectives and security chiefs from Africa.
