Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Mohammed Maalim has issued a shoot-to-kill order as the government steps up the hunt for bandits terrorising residents of the troubled North Rift region.

While on tour of Baringo South on Tuesday, he said the government has deployed more than 80 police reservists in Baringo North and Baringo South sub-counties to supplement security officers already stationed in the region. He directed the officers to produce culprits either dead or alive.
