Marwa issued a stern warning to the youth saying that the government will not spare any individual who is hell bent on disturbing the peace and security of the region.

Speaking on Tuesday in Witu, Lamu County, the regional coordinator also put on notice youths who pretend to be fishing at the Indian Ocean yet in real sense are looking for a route to go to Somalia to join the al-Shabaab militia group.

"My office is duly aware of youth who spend long hours in the ocean posing as fishermen because they want to cross over to Somalia and join terror factions,” said Marwa.
