As Kerio Valley continues to mourn the deaths of its people because of banditry and cattle rustling, there is need for President Uhuru Kenyatta to personally intervene and restore law and order in the region.

The fact remains that top security officers, including Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai among others, have toured the area but little, or no progress has been achieved in the search for lasting peace.
