Following the prevailing security situation in Narok County, the government through Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen have declared parts of Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South as security-disturbed and dangerous for a period of 30 days.
Murkomen says that This declaration will allow security operations to be scaled up and peace-building interventions to be rolled out in earnest following the recent unrest.
A dawn-to-dusk curfew is already in force, and security presence in the affected areas has been significantly enhanced. The CS says that calmness is gradually returning as the government continue to engage with local leaders and security stakeholders to address the root causes of the conflict.
Murkomen says the Government is committed to ensuring that the communities, which have for a long time lived together in peace and harmony, bring an end to the current animosities and fully embrace peaceful coexistence.
