President William Ruto has warned of tough security measures in troubled areas of the North Rift region, which has been hit hard by banditry.

Yesterday, after attending an interdenominational thanksgiving service at Kabarnet ASK Showground, the Head of State urged local leaders to engage their people in order to combat lawlessness, which has hampered education and development and caused tension among communities.
