Uasin Gishu County Governor Jackson Mandago has said that time is ripe for the National security agencies to start being held accountable for their failures.
Mandago has accused the agencies of laxity and taking intelligence provided to them for granted leading to terrorist attacks.
"We want to tell the national security agencies that time has come for them to act decisively and with speed. They have to act with commitment and diligence knowing that we are watching them,” said Mandago.
He also challenged parents who do not know their children's whereabouts, and have done nothing about it, to report to the police.
"We will also treat parents as terrorists and accomplices whose children have disappeared for more than one year and they have not even reported to the Police,” said Mandago.
At the same time he urged leaders in northern Kenya to help in identifying terrorists hiding in the region there while radicalising youths.
Mandago was speaking at Uasin Gishu County Assembly buildings where the county gave Sh200,00 to four families from the county whose children perished in the Garissa attack.
