North Eastern Regional Coordinator Mohamud Saleh has warned politicians and community elders sympathizing and working with terror agents.
Saleh says that terror sympathizers will be treated as criminals.
Speaking to journalists in Garissa Town on Sunday, the regional coordinator said that they have intelligence reports that some politicians could be aiding terror-related activities.
He said that investigations are ongoing, warning that the law will ruthlessly deal with those aiding or colluding with outlawed criminal gangs.
"We are not going to tolerate or spare anyone found working with, funding or linked to terror and criminal gangs," he said on Sunday.
Saleh asked members of the public in the Northern region to come out and share information on people aiding terror activities.
He also asked youth involved in terror and crime activities to take advantage of the amnesty period that is in place and surrender to themselves to security agencies.
He said that those who will surrender within the amnesty period will not be victimised.
Saleh assured locals that multi-agency security has been beefed up across the region.
He asked elected leaders to stop politicising their fight against terror and crime and instead support security measures that are in place.
Security has often remained an issue in the Northern Kenya with cases of terror-related attacks common in Garissa and Mandera.
On Sunday, Garissa University College marked three years since the bloody Al-Shabaab terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 148 students.
