This morning, at the Defence Headquarters, I received a comprehensive briefing from the Kenya Defence Forces Chief of Strategic Plans and Policy, Brigadier Caroline Mutisya, together with the technical team, on the progress of the review of the draft National Defence Policy 2026–2036.

The draft National Defence Policy is firmly anchored on the Constitution of Kenya and aligned with the National Security Policy and the National Security Strategy, ensuring that it provides a coherent and integrated framework for advancing the country's defence and national security objectives.

The Ministry of Defence is constitutionally mandated to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kenya and to enable the Kenya Defence Forces to effectively discharge their constitutional responsibilities. As the Ministry's principal policy document, the National Defence Policy provides the overarching strategic framework for developing defence capabilities, guiding the formulation of defence strategies and advancing Kenya's national security interests.

The Defence Principal Secretary, Dr. Patrick Mariru, the Ministry's Heads of Department and senior Kenya Defence Forces officers attended the briefing.
