Hon Duale Chairs The First Plenary Session of the Contact Group on Illicit Maritime Activities

HON DUALE CHAIRS THE FIRST PLENARY SESSION OF THE CONTACT GROUP AGAINST ILLICIT MARITIME ACTIVITIES 



Defence Cabinet Secretary Hon Aden Duale chaired the first Plenary Session of the Contact Group on Illicit Maritime Activities (CGIMA) at the International Peace Support Training Centre (IPSTC) Karen, Nairobi in the joint pursuit to combat illicit maritime activities, in collaboration with our global partners,

During the session, Hon Duale reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to collaborate with the global community in enhancing safety and security against threats such as terrorism, trafficking of nuclear materials and drugs as well as human trafficking and migrant smuggling, caused by illicit maritime activities through the sea or international waters.

Hon Duale emphasized the need to create a border check system to ensure that terror groups do not find way to propagate criminal activities.

Further, he said there's need to identify areas of possible capacity building by Member States that constitute the Group with an aim of disrupting illicit financial networks arising from the transnational maritime activities.

The forum brought together a cross section of experts with a view of taking stock of the Contact Group off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS), a precursor to CGIMA and receive proposals on the areas of focus from the International Organizations and their perception on the future in combating illicit maritime activities.

With the suppression of piracy, the dominance and gradual rise of other illicit maritime activities is the concern of the Contact Group and said he has trust that as they continue with the spirit of active dialogue, they shall endeavour to find solutions that will ensure a safe and secure maritime environment that the world is dependent on to thrive.
Kenya was unanimously endorsed to retain the Chairmanship of the Contact Group and promised to do whatever it takes to achieve more milestones in the next one year.

Present were IPSTC Director, Brigadier Joyce Sitienei, representatives of various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), a host of International Organizations and members of the Diplomatic Corps.
