Over the past few weeks, crowd-control vehicles, guns and tear gas have been shipped into Kenya, reports Kenya’s Standard newspaper.
This comes ahead of the general election on 8 August.
The newspaper reports at least a dozen new South Korean-made riot control vehicles arrived in Nairobi at the weekend.
It also says anti-riot gear including teargas canisters, batons, anti-riot wear and guns came through Mombasa port.
The newspaper adds that this “points to an assessment by the security forces that there could be violence after the announcement of the results”.
Every week until the election the BBC’s Dickens Olewe is taking an in-depth look at an aspect of the vote.
