Authorities in several counties are taking measures to address local security challenges. In Baringo County, leaders and residents are celebrating the return of peace after years of banditry and cattle rustling, paving the way for a renewed focus on tourism. This improvement is attributed to a multi-sectoral approach and a national amnesty program. Meanwhile, in Murang’a, County Commissioner Hassan Bule issued a stern warning to liquor traders against selling substandard and illicit alcoholic drinks ahead of the festive season. The commissioner also noted rising criminal activities involving boda boda riders operating at night. In Kisii County, Governor Simba Arati demanded the arrest of police officers during Jamhuri Day celebrations, accusing them of colluding with drug peddlers.
