“There is no cause for alarm. In due course, I will issue a statement on the state of security in the country,” he said.
There has been public outcry on the increasing cases of criminal acts.
He said differences between National Police Service Commission and Inspector General of Police have been resolved.
“Stakeholders from the Commission on Implementation of Constitution, law reforms among others have played a role in ensuring harmony between the teams,” he disclosed.
He said the matter has been resolved amicably and the leaders will work together. Lenku was addressing the media at his office after meeting leaders from Samburu and Turkana over insecurity.
