The government Thursday promised to intensify its crackdown on powerful individuals in Kerio Valley, believed to be supplying arms to locals.
Speaking in Kapenguria town during the 16th edition of the Jukwaa la Usalama country tours, the Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen put on notice individuals fueling insecurity in the region by smuggling weapons.
The CS noted that the suspects have taken advantage of our porous international borders to smuggle the guns and bullets.
He announced that they are under active investigations and vowed that no one will be spared, irrespective of their status in society.
“We have a challenge with our porous borders both locally and with neighbouring nations. The small routes are accessed by criminals, and this leads to the proliferation of small arms,” noted the CS.
In particular, he issued a stern warning to individuals dressed in suits disguised as upright citizens but engaging in illegal activity.
