Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called on security officers to enhance operations in Laikipia County to ensure that everyone in the region is secure. Gachagua said that the government will not tolerate laxity in ensuring the safety of the people.<\/p>\n

“We will have a meeting with security officers and leaders from the county to beef up our response because these killings here are unacceptable,” Gachagua said.<\/p>\n

He said that they will intensify efforts to ensure peace prevailed in the county as earlier promised. \u201cAs we promised the residents of Laikipia before elections, we must sort out the insecurity in Laikipia once and for all,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n

Further, he urged the national government administration officials and security officers to act tougher on those distributing illicit brew. He warned that those who will sleep on their jobs will be fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not transfer any station commander who has failed to deal with illicit brew and drugs because it is wrong to transfer a non-performing person to another station. They will have to give way to those ready to wage a serious fight against this serious problem,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n

In addition, he called for support of the Finance Bill to enable the government to finance development projects across the country. \u201cWe have many roads that stalled and require funds, we are building dams and boreholes, and we must pay monthly stipends for the vulnerable. We must collect taxes because we will not continue borrowing as we have reached the limit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that they will not stop supporting the church because it is the place where they have derived blessings from. The DP was speaking on Sunday at ACK Christ the King Pro-Cathedral in Nyahururu town, Laikipia County when he joined the faithful for a service and a fundraiser to support the construction of an ultra-modern cathedral.<\/p>\n
