The government has reinstated Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) who were withdrawn from the volatile Laikipia County two years ago.

"The KPRs will work with the police to restore peace in the county where several people have been killed and thousands of livestock stolen in the recent past," Rift Valley Regional Coordinator Maalim Mohamed said on Monday when he addressed a security meeting in Rumuruti and Ol Moran towns.
