Government Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has announced intensified anti-banditry operations in Samburu and Isiolo counties following recent incidents of banditry. The operations aim to target individuals possessing illegal firearms and those involved in attacks against security officers, civilians, and livestock. Murkomen emphasized that these operations will be intelligence-led and warned that all violators will be dealt with decisively.
Regretting a recent incident where livestock were killed, he appealed to security agencies to exercise maximum caution to minimize collateral damage. Murkomen dismissed criticism of the intensified operations, stating they are a result of efforts to restore security in the affected areas. He assured that the government will continue these operations until those areas are liberated before the next election.
In Nandi County, Murkomen also honored the Nandi East/Tinderet KNUT Branch, commended its commitment to teachers' welfare, and pledged the government's support for education sector reforms.
