Beef up security in the north

Recent bandit attacks in Marti village, Samburu County that left at least 9 people dead indicate the cycle of violence in the region is not about to end. Peace remains elusive despite Government-led mediation talks between the warring communities.

Meetings at which community elders have sat to iron out their differences have not achieved much; any truce declared is broken almost immediately. This situation cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.
