Kenya launched its first unified National Action Plan on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) security on November 27, 2025, at the Kenya Police Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Training School in Embakasi. This plan significantly bolsters the nation's preparedness and response capabilities for hazardous material incidents.

• The launch featured a live simulation of a chlorine gas leak, involving the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Kenya Police Service teams, demonstrating a response to three critical casualties.
• Director General James Keter of the Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority highlighted the plan's importance following incidents like the February 1, 2024, explosion at an unlicensed liquefied petroleum gas depot in Mradi, Embakasi, which killed at least three people and injured 280 others.
• The plan explicitly states that Kenya will not acquire, produce, or host chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, nor will it support non-state actors aiming to do so.
