Abstract
Kenya international boundaries are
generally porous in nature and have their
fair share of challenges and disputes.
Kenya recognizes the centrality of
international boundaries in securing her
sovereignty and has deployed different
security agencies for this purpose. The
purpose of the study was to assess the
effectiveness of the multiagency approach
in international boundary security in
Kenya. A descriptive study was applied
targeting officers from multi agencies that
deal with securing Kenya’s international
boundaries. Stratified and census sampling
were employed. Primary data was
collected using key informant interviews
and a survey questionnaire and analyzed
using content analysis and descriptive
analysis respectively. The findings indicate
that the multiagency approach was
effective in promoting coordination,
training and support among the security
agencies in the efforts of securing the
international boundaries. The study
recommends that the government enhances
the initiatives of multiagency approach
undertaken by different security agencies
with the aim of securing Kenya’s
international boundaries. The study
suggests that further studies be conducted
focusing on the challenges faced using the
multi-agency approach in securing the
international borders.
