The government has put on notice Samburu cattle rustlers who have been stealing livestock and killing people in the region.
Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumpa Morkomen, who toured the county after a series of killings of innocent residents and cattle rustling, warned that the government is equal to the task of taking care of people’s lives and property.
The CS assured Samburu residents that the government will ensure that criminals hiding in Malaso valley will be flushed out by security forces.
The CS also warned politicians perpetrating cattle rustling activities in the region that the government will no longer tolerate them.
He urged leaders in the region to unite for development instead of dividing residents along clan lines.
He also called on leaders in cattle rustling-prone counties to unite and stop fuelling the ongoing banditry attacks in their respective counties.
The CS was accompanied by, among other leaders, Samburu Governor Lati Lelelit, Women Representative Pauline Lengures, IG Douglas Kanja, and Samburu County Commissioner John Cheroiyot.
