The government has revealed that Ksh7.8 billion will be used to procure new armored vehicles for the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) to counter the threat of bomb attacks in certain regions of the country.
According to KDF spokesperson Zipporah Kioko, the Ministry of Defense has procured 118 new Armed Personnel Carriers (APCs).
These special vehicles are designed to serve as a shield to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), provide soldiers with mobility in the field, and also allow the security forces easy access in and out of the vehicles.
