The government needs to rethink about how it handles insecurity in violence-prone counties,  Meru governor Peter Munya has said.

Besides increasing funding to equip security agencies, officers may need to be retrained, particularly if they have been deployed to the volatile grazing zones in Baringo, Laikipia, Meru/Isiolo border and Samburu, Mr Munya noted.
