DPP defends contentious security law

Kenya: Kenya's criminal law is not sufficiently equipped to tackle the emerging security threats like terrorism, Director for Public prosecution (DPP) Keriako Tobiko has said.

While presenting his submission in court before a five judge bench in a case challenging the new security laws, the DPP termed the current criminal law as ‘archaic’ and outdated, thus they cannot adequately deal with the new wave of terror.
