Mombasa County Commissioner has stressed the importance of security agencies working with Imams jointly fighting ills of terrorism.
The County commissioner pointed out that Imams and council of Muslims need to worker harder in preventing young people from being recruited into extremist groups.
During a meeting with Imams and preachers of Kenya on Monday, Mombasa County Commissioner Mohammed Malim told leaders they must stand together to fight terrorism.
The meeting held at Sonara hall was attended by Imams from all six sub-counties; Kisauni, Likoni, Changamwe, Jomvu, Highland and Nyali.
Malim while addressing the meeting said that security is a collective responsibility for everyone.
The county boss noted rare incidents of terror at the Coast saying sharing of intelligence (HUMINT)/information has led to countering of terrorist before striking.
Malim also asked the Imams and Muslim leaders not to be coward by suspected terrorists whose motive is to kill. He called on them to speak out of terrorism activities without fearing anyone.
“You as Imam preaching in the mosque don’t hesitate to speak on effects of radicalization on our youths. Give them advice,” said Mr Maalim.
