Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has declared a 90-day 6pm to 6am curfew in Mt Elgon following deadly attacks that have put residents on edge.
Matiang’i made the announcement on Tuesday during a tour alongside Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa and their Lands counterpart Farida Karoney.
“The curfew begins today … I have gazetted this region as a disturbed area,” he told reporters.
Matiang’i noted that a major operation will be carried out during the period to ensure gangsters who have been killing and injuring people are brought to book.
“I have ordered IG Joseph Boinnet to carry out a total reshuffle of police in the region,” he said.
