The government is extending the coverage of Operation Maliza Uhalifu (OMU) to sections of Eastern region in Northern parts of Meru, Isiolo and Marsabit counties where bandits are believed to have been fleeing to following the intensity of the operation in Turkana and Samburu counties.
The Ministry of Interior has marked the recent attacks witnessed in Meru North’s Igembe North and West as having been committed by bandits streaming in from the neighboring Isiolo and Marsabit counties and a few from the area around Archer’s Post in Samburu County.
