Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Laikipia security designated area remains a no go zone for political meetings without police clearance, IG Hillary Mutyambai has said.<\/p>\n

In a notice on Sunday, Mutyambai said such areas gazetted as disturbed with an ongoing multiagency operation and shall remain until called off.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttention is drawn to plans by some members of the public to conduct rallies including meetings in areas designated disturbed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore illegal and irresponsible to hold public rallies or meetings in contravention of the law.”<\/p>\n

Mutyambai said any contravention by a person or group of persons shall be met with full force of the law.<\/p>\n

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has created a new administrative sub county in Laikipia named Kirima to tackle insecurity in the area.<\/p>\n

He announced this on a gazette notice dated September 9.<\/p>\n

“…in an effort to enhance coordination of the functions of the National Government, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government establishes the following administrative unit as service delivery coordination unit…” he said.<\/p>\n

This creation is expected to bring government and security agencies closer to the backwaters of Sipili and Ng’arua.<\/p>\n

Matiang\u2019i is in Laikipia county to review ongoing police operations there to flush out armed men terrorizing locals.<\/p>\n

The security chiefs landed in the area early in the week as operations intensified to flush out gunmen on private ranches.<\/p>\n

The armed men are accused of being the masterminds of at least 10 deaths among them three cops.<\/p>\n

The attackers have been torching houses and other amenities including schools.<\/p>\n

The team announced the government will offer food, water, blankets, matresses immediately and to assist affected families resettle.<\/p>\n

They will also get iron sheets among other building materials to reconstruct their structures.<\/p>\n

The CS said more political leaders are on the radar for instigating the attacks ahead of general elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
