Members of Parliament from Rift Valley have renewed calls for a military operation in the restive region to flush out armed bandits and mop up illegal guns through forceful disarmament.

Speaking on the sidelines of an induction seminar for lawmakers in Mombasa yesterday, the MPs also called for the establishment of a special department within the executive to deal with issues of banditry and cattle rustling in the volatile region.
