MOMBASA— Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed I. Amin on Friday presided over the closing ceremony of the Counter-Terrorism Senior Investigating Officers Course, emphasising the critical role of strong leadership in addressing evolving terrorist threats.
The intensive programme, held in Mombasa, equipped high-ranking officers from the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) across Kenya with advanced leadership and investigative skills essential for effective counter-terrorism operations.
Addressing the graduates, Mr Amin congratulated them on completing the course and urged them to embrace greater responsibilities. He stressed that professionalism, strategic thinking and disciplined decision-making remain cornerstone principles in Kenya’s ongoing battle against terrorism.
“As terrorism grows in complexity, sophistication, and reach, Kenya’s counter-terrorism response must also evolve,” Mr Amin said. “It should be anchored not only in operational capability but also in strong leadership and effective inter-agency coordination.”
