From the early days of colonial rule, intelligence in Kenya was used as a tool for control-tracking, suppressing, and manipulating the indigenous population through a feared entity known as the Special Branch. This structure, deeply rooted in colonial policing models, continued well after independence, shaping the national security landscape of a young nation still finding its footing.
But Kenya's intelligence narrative took a decisive turn with the appointment of Wilson Boinett, a military outsider and seasoned intelligence professional, to lead the transformation. Drawing on his experience as Chief of Military Intelligence and former aide-de-camp to the President, Brigadier (Rtd) Boinett led the restructuring of the service into what is now recognized as a modern, civilian National Intelligence Service (NIS).

This book is both a historical documentation and a personal account of an unprecedented transformation. It delves into the philosophy, challenges, and triumphs behind the professionalization of the country's intelligence apparatus. From colonial repression to national resilience, Fixing Spy Craft offers readers rare access into how intelligence-when grounded in national interest and democratic values-can become a pillar of responsible governance.

A graduate of the National Defence University in Washington DC, Brigadier (Rtd) Boinett remains one of the most respected pioneers in Kenya's intelligence community. His legacy is not only in the institutions he helped build, but in the renewed trust and credibility they now command.
Fixing Spy Craft to Serve National Interests in Kenya is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, security professionals, and anyone interested in the evolution of statecraft and national sovereignty in Africa.
