A meeting held at State House between President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Council of Governors that spells out security measures to be taken to ensure that peace is maintained as we gear up for elections in 2017 is laudable.
The three-point resolution is one step, no less significant, to ensure that the 2017 elections don't plunge the country into chaos as happened in 2007, where 1,300 lives were lost and hundreds of thousands of people got displaced. Previously, security has been a sticky issue between the counties and the National Government. Part of the measures to ensure that this is resolved and that security is enhanced, includes the formation of a County Policing Authority. Hopefully, this will help straighten things out.
