STORYLINE:
Kenyan President William Ruto said on Saturday that the government will increase investment in the maritime sector as part of efforts to counter threats along the borders.

"It is also imperative for us to invest in advanced technologies, modernize our fleet, and escalate the skills and operational capacity of our men and women in our Kenyan Navy. Our singular focus will be on maintaining a high state of readiness to ensure that we can respond swiftly and effectively to an increasingly dynamic security environment that we live in. And I, in the last two months, I have been in discussion with the leadership of the Minister of Defense and CDF and its team on how we can modernize the capabilities that exist in our military."
The event, which began early Saturday, commemorated six decades of the navy's unwavering dedication to protecting Kenya's maritime borders and upholding national sovereignty.
The president said the Kenya Navy has been instrumental in unlocking Kenya's immense untapped potential in the blue economy.
The Kenyan leader further commended the synergy between the navy and the Kenya Coast Guard Service, which formed the cornerstone of Kenya's National Maritime Defense Strategy. He said the two institutions protect the country's coastline, combat illegal activities, secure maritime resources, and safeguard sea lanes of communication and trade.
