Al Shabaab is plotting to embarass the government during US President Barrack Obama's visit, a National Assembly committee said yesterday.

Committee on Administration and National Security chairman Asman Kamama urged Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett and Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery to alert security agencies. 

The committee called for intensified intelligence gathering before, during and after Obama's visit.  The committee also called for the profiling of soft spots to help avert terror attacks. 

"The police have done it before.They must ensure all the areas of easy target are manned enough and heavy security deployment done," Kamama said.  MPs Tim Wanyonyi, Patrick Ntutu, Wanjiku Muhia and Joseph Ndiege called for intensified patrols.
