Rift valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya has warned those operating with illegal firearms to cause conflict in Kapedo, Baringo County that their days are numbered.
In a phone interview just two days after several police officers sustained injuries after they were attacked by suspected cattle rustlers in Kapedo, Natembeya stated that the security team will not tolerate such.
While assuring that the officers who were injured are in good condition and continuing with treatment at various health facilities, the Regional Commissioner revealed that security team will be holding meetings and camp in Kapedo to wipe out criminal elements.
“Two officers who were seriously injured were brought here in Nakuru and admitted in a facility where they are recuperating. But we want to warn those with unlicensed firearms that the law will face up with them. We are going to camp in that area and ensure normalcy returns,” said Natembeya.
It will be recalled that the Rift Valley Regional Commissioner while assuming office put cattle rustlers on notice, saying the government will take stern action against anyone found engaging in the retrogressive practice that is the cause of insecurity, especially among pastoral communities.
Natembeya, formerly Narok County Commissioner was elevated to take over from Mongo Chimwaga who was redeployed to the Ministry of Interior as Secretary National Administration.
