According to Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, those who organized clashes in Sondu town were criminals.
The CS condemned the violence in the town, which borders Kisumu and Kericho Counties, and claimed that the organizers had disguised the chaos as border disputes.
He stated that the government would not condone the acts of violence committed in the area over the last three days.
“The culture of impunity must be stopped, and those keen on driving the country into anarchy through violence and wanton destruction of private and public property dealt with firmly and decisively,” he said on Saturday.
He spoke at a security briefing attended by the Security and Intelligence Committees of the Nyanza and Rift Valley regions, as well as the two counties.
In addition, he held a public baraza at Sondu Market.
The CS stated that the government was committed to facilitating a peace process plan for the residents of the area.
He stated that any disagreement, regardless of its nature, could be resolved peacefully and within the confines of the law.
“Violence and lawlessness cannot be a solution to any dispute,” he said.
