Interior and National Administration CS Prof Kithure Kindiki addressing residents of Isiolo at Dadachabasa Primary School, Isiolo North Constituency on November 24, 2022.
The government has announced a raft of measures to deal with insecurity in Isiolo County. In the recent past, tens of lives have been lost and thousands of animals stolen. Interior CS Kithure Kindiki said more than 300 National Police Reservists will be recruited and deployed in Isiolo Central, Garbatulla and Merti Sub-counties. He directed the county security team to complete the vetting of reservists in 10 days.
The government, he said, will also put up a police station in Korbesa. The area has been deserted due to banditry attacks. The CS said three special police unit camps will be put up in Escort, Eldera, Biliqo Marara, Yamicha and Mlango to deal with hardcore criminals and cattle rustlers.
