The government yesterday dispatched a high-level security team to North Rift to end escalating insecurity in the region.

The move comes following continued deterioration of security in Baringo, West Pokot, Samburu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana and Laikipia counties due to cattle rustling and other criminal acts in the past two months.
