Interior Cabinet Secretary Prof Kithure Kindiki has termed the process of liberating the six North Rift Valley region counties from bandits and armed criminals a great success so far.
CS Kindiki said the multi-agency security team spearheading the operation has flushed out the bandits from the gorges, valleys, escarpments, and hills that they had turned into their hideouts.
He directed that the said areas remain under the command of security officers.
The Interior CS said that the government will do whatever it takes to end the banditry menace that has affected the North Rift region for decades.
He commended security officers on the frontline for their dedication, diligence, and commitment. Kindiki spoke when he visited the Joint National Police Service (NPS) and Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Operation Maliza Uhalifu Command Centre at Chemolingot in Baringo County.
