Security efforts under Operation Maliza Uhalifu continue to bear fruit in West Pokot County, as residents increasingly cooperate with authorities to rid the region of illegal firearms.
Yesterday, an AK-47 rifle loaded with three rounds of ammunition was voluntarily surrendered to security personnel operating in the area.
This surrender adds to the significant progress already made, with security agencies having so far recovered a total of 86 rifles and 188 rounds of ammunition.
These recoveries represent a substantial step towards combating illegal weapons that have long fuelled insecurity, banditry, and conflict in parts of the region.
As Operation Maliza Uhalifu progresses, the continued recovery of illegal firearms signals meaningful progress towards restoring peace and security in West Pokot.
