We will restore security in bandit prone areas, President Ruto says

President William Ruto has said the government will deal firmly with illegal arms in the country.

He said special focus will be paid to North Rift where cattle rustling and banditry have become rampant.

“It is our commitment that after elections, leaders from across the political divide can meet to discuss issues affecting the people,” he explained.

The President was speaking in Nakuru, when he met leaders from Baringo and Nakuru counties.

He said leaders must endeavour to nurture peace for the transformation of the country.

He warned those behind cattle rustling to surrender or face the full force of the law.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on the other hand said they will continue working with elected leaders, their political leaning notwithstanding for the development of the country.
