Kenya Awash With Illegal Firearms

There are more than half a million illegal firearms in the country and most of the guns are held in pastoral communities and urban areas, says a recent study.

The report shows that illegally owned firearms include those brought in the country through the porous Somalia border while others were stolen from police officers by gangsters.
