A total of 122 Special Operations Group (SOG) officers have graduated after successfully completing a rigorous six-and-a-half-month training programme. Presiding over the event Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity as they take on some of the country’s most demanding security assignments.
During the 11th SOG graduation ceremony at Kamanga Training Camp in Samburu County, Murkomen hailed the unit for its contribution to the fight against banditry and terrorism, saying security agencies have seized more than 2,000 firearms and 1,500 rounds of ammunition from bandits and terrorists.
He challenged the newly graduated officers to confront violent extremism, dismantle organised criminal networks, counter cross-border threats, protect critical national infrastructure and support specialised operations requiring precision, discipline and professionalism.
Murkomen also lauded the National Intelligence Service and the National Police Service for their collaboration in strengthening national security and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to reforms aimed at building a more effective and people-centred security sector.
The ceremony was attended by National Intelligence Service Director General Noordin Ali, Deputy Inspector General of the Administration Police Service Gilbert Masengeli and other senior security officials.
