The Kenyan Ministry of Interior has extended the designation of 13 areas in Marsabit County as "security-disturbed and dangerous" for another 30 days, effective December 23, 2025.

• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced the extension, which comes despite calls from Members of Parliament to withdraw the declaration.
• The Police Inspector General, Douglas Kanja, has reiterated the restriction on firearms in these areas, ordering immediate surrender to police stations or government offices.
• This marks a further extension of a declaration first made on September 3, 2024, and subsequently extended multiple times throughout 2024 and 2025.
