Security experts and top government officials have expressed disappointment in the lack of visible assistance from the intelligence agency and emphasized their reliance on the agency to share critical information about potential attacks.

In response to the frequent Al-Shabaab attacks, the members of the National Assembly have called upon the officials from the National Intelligence Agency to appear before the parliament to answer inquiries about the intelligence failures that have resulted in the loss of hundreds of soldiers' lives
