Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said pointed out other challenges, including transnational organised crimes and threats induced by climate change, which continue to adversely impact peace and security across the continent.

"If we fail to manage these threats effectively, we jeopardise our collective existence. We must confront these challenges with urgency and determination," he told the second Mashariki Cooperation Conference held at the Enashipai Resort and Spa in Naivasha.
