Residents of Pokot Central Sub-County in West Pokot County have voluntarily surrendered twelve illegal firearms at Marich Police Station.
The firearms, comprising twelve AK-47 rifles, twelve magazines, and twenty-four rounds of ammunition, were handed over with the support of the National Government Administration Officers and community leadership. The firearms have been secured in safe custody pending further administrative action.
This voluntary surrender marks a significant step in the ongoing government-led disarmament initiative aimed at enhancing peace, stability, and security in the region through community cooperation.
The National Police Service commends members of the public and local leaders for their collaboration in supporting efforts to rid communities of illegal firearms.
Individuals who still possess illegal firearms are encouraged to take advantage of the ongoing disarmament efforts and surrender them to the nearest police station.
