After days of running battles between police and the public following a chaotic incident where three suspects were lynched and a police camp brought down early this week, calm has returned to Kapsabet town.

Boda boda operators have called off their demonstrations and resumed their normal operations as security personnel continue to patrol key areas after a reconciliatory meeting was held on Wednesday.
