The government will conduct a major operation at Kamologon Forest to flush out bandits and armed criminals who have for years terrorised residents and used the forest as their hideout.
Addressing a security baraza at Kalya Market at the intersection of Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot Counties, Prof Kindiki said Any person found within the forest will be treated as a suspect of banditry.
The CS commended Governors Wisley Rotich and Simon Kachapin for spearheading peace building efforts and investing in social economic programs that will enhance harmonious coexistence between communities.
To facilitate effective communication and prompt response by law enforcement agencies to insecurity and criminal activities, the Government is constructing the
Tangul-Kamologon- Keren Road, “Amani Road,” which links Elgeyo Marakwet County and West Pokot County.
He insisted that criminals will be pursued individually, and no community will be condemned or profiled by the national security agencies.
