State offers amnesty to Kenyans in terror group Top security officials led by Chief of Defence Forces Gen Julius Karangi asked the recruits to denounce the group and even seek the government's help.
Internal Security Permanent Secretary Francis Kimemia said the government was profiling Kenyans who may have been recruited into the militia.
He added that the government would offer amnesty to local Al-Shabaab members if they came forward.
"Our internal security has borne the adverse effects of the Al-Shabaab menace, and the government has no plan to negotiate with the militant group.
