The study was guided by several objectives; a) Examine the policy and strategy making b) Evaluate the strategies and policies on the war on terror in Kenya c) Assess critically the strategies and policies used in war on terror. The study was guided by systems theory, that all things and events known to man are connected to and interface with one another. An event happening today is influenced from certain occasions previously and similarly, a few occasions that will occur later on will be influenced from the occasions of today. The study used a qualitative research design. A case study approach focusing responses on war against terror in Kenya was used. Qualitative data was obtained from use of surveys and key informant interviews. The target population was government agencies such as National Intelligence Service (NIS), Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU), National Police Service and Ministry of Interior and Defense.
