Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has issued a directive for individuals possessing illegal firearms to surrender them to the government, as a reinforced crackdown on banditry continues across the North Rift and Upper Eastern regions. This comes amid ongoing operations to restore lasting peace, particularly along the border of West Pokot and Turkana counties.

• CS Murkomen warned political leaders against shielding bandits, stating that such actions are a threat to national security.
• The government has declared 14 areas in Trans Mara West and South as security disturbed and dangerous due to conflicts, some attributed to land disputes.
• President William Ruto has previously vowed to restore calm in unrest-hit areas like Narok County, where violence has led to deaths and displacement.
