Security operations such as Operation Maliza Uhalifu (OMU) and Operation Amani Boni (OAB) have been intensified to maintain stability. Investments in military infrastructure, including Level IV hospitals, fiber optic cabling, and new housing, have improved the welfare of security personnel.

The affordable housing initiative has created 244,232 jobs, with 130,988 units under construction and 127,476 in procurement. Efforts to automate land services have also led to a 102% increase in the issuance of title deeds.

Kenya has produced 1.7 billion seedlings and grown 758 million trees, with additional efforts to rehabilitate mangrove and bamboo forests. Investments in meteorological services have improved weather forecasting, enhancing disaster preparedness.

Tourism has rebounded with a 60% increase in international visitors, generating Kshs. 184.11B in revenue. Measures to mitigate human-wildlife conflict include a Kshs. 2.36B compensation fund and a 320km wildlife fence construction project.
