Is banditry menace in Baringo beyond Government control?

No, the Government has always been at the forefront putting in place security measures to contain banditry along the Kerio valley belt, which stretches to Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. Short term measures currently seen in the Valley include the continued strengthening of police presence and an indicator that the banditry menace will soon be under control. Locals now have a chance to defend their interests after being enlisted as police reservists.

We are glad of Government interventions through enhanced National Police Reservist Programme, and we fully support the strategies in ensuring that the region is peaceful.
The State has continued to demonstrate leadership through site visits in the affected areas and recruiting more security personnel.
