The governor of Garissa County has held a conference to discuss how to deal with the vexed issue of terrorised.
In the conference, which was held on Sunday, stakeholders bounced ideas off each other on the measures to be deployed in order to reduce the threat that the terrorism issue poses not just to Garissa County but to the entire Northeastern region.
"Convened a one-day consultative stakeholders conference on peace and counter-violent terrorism in Garissa town today to identify solutions and more effective measures to end violent extremism," the Garissa County boss wrote on Twitter.
"The thematic focus of Garissa County Community Policing/Counter Terrorism Stakeholders Consultative Conference was to discuss importance of the community in the fight against terrorist insurgents that continue to cost the lives of innocent people and lag development in the region," he added.
The conference comes in the wake of a spate of attacks in Garissa county carried out by suspected Al-Shabaab militants.
In attendance was Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji and Garissa Township Member of Parliament Aden Duale.
About two weeks ago, the Somalia-based group militants attacked a public primary school, killing four pupils and injuring others.
The Korane administration has been involved in programs aimed at shielding Garissa county's youths from the murderous ideologies of Al-Shabaab.
The county is prone to attacks from the terror group because of its close proximity to Somalia.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected calls to pull out the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) from Somalia, a key demand of Al-Shabaab.
In 2015, the terrorist group launched an attack at the Garissa-University College, killing at least 147 people.
