On 19 April 2017, the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) received a delegation from Kenya. During the meeting in New York, authorities conveyed the positive progress on border management and security issues highlighted during the visit to Kenya in February 2016 by CTED on behalf of the Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee.

The country visit was followed by the adoption by the Committee of a final report in March 2017, as well as an Overview for Implementation Assessment (OIA) and a Detailed Implementation Assessment (DIS). Kenya on its part affirmed its willingness to address the challenges of countering terrorism in the country, as well as its full commitment to engage regionally and internationally with the same objective.

Members of the Kenyan delegation included Major General (retired) Gordon Kihalangwa, Director of Immigration Services; Messrs. James Nyantigoh and Joseph Lenaiya, both with the Department of Immigration; and Sospeter Karani with the Permanent Mission of Kenya to the United Nations in New York.
