1. (U) Post provided no new commodities or services under the
international narcotics and crime program to the government
of Kenyan in 2005. Post's End Use Monitoring Report is as
follows:


2. (U) Procedures: The Kenyan Police Service was notified of
monetary resources through the 2002 ALOA committing the USG
to such support. In 2002, ten computers were provided to the
Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU),which was informed of such
assistance through routine contact with EmbOffs from the
Political and Regional Security Offices, Ambassadorial
courtesy calls, and routine meetings with the Director of
Criminal Investigations Division (CID),which has oversight
responsibility for the ANU. Post maintains regular contact
with the ANU to allow close monitoring of the computers. The
ANU also provides periodic reports on the use of the
computers, including the location and condition of the
equipment.


3. (U) Status: Nine of the original ten donated computers are
still in use. The computers have not been exclusively used by
the ANU, rather the CID controls their dissemination and
placement within the Kenya Police Service (KPS). The ANU
reports that the nine computers are in use at nine different
police stations throughout the nation.


4. (SBU) Problems: Continuing corruption concerns, coupled
with diminished control by the designated recipient over the
dissemination of resources, hampered Post's provision of
additional assistance.


5. (U) Impact: The ANU reports that the provision of the
computers has enabled the KPS (and by extension the ANU) to
improve record keeping and nationwide data collection. As a
result, the ANU is able to compile data to provide more
comprehensive, detailed, and reliable reports on
anti-narcotics related activities.


6. (U) Program Changes: Post is currently undertaking a
review of past assistance and current needs of the KPS to
identify opportunities where additional assistance might be
most effectively employed.
