A curfew imposed in Mandera county in October last year has been extended until the end of the Holy month of Ramadhan.
This comes after more than eight police officers were killed in separate bomb attacks in Garissa and Mandera counties between Wednesday and Thursday.
Five officers in Governor Ali Roba’s convoy were killed when their Land Cruiser ran over an improvised explosive device between Arabia and Lafey in Mandera.
In Garissa, three AP officers were killed in the morning and five others injured when their vehicle ran over an IED on the Kulan-Liboi road, seven kilometres from Kulan, Garissa county.
Al Shabaab militants claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The order has allowed for fishermen in Lamu county to fish at night.
Interior CS Joseph Nkaissery has also urged members of the public to cooperate fully with the police and ensure the Ramadhan period remains peaceful.
During the burial of some of the slain officers, Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi warned that to the terror group.
"If communication equipment can be destroyed by terror groups and no one minds months later, it is my fear that we will lose part of the country to the terror group," he said.
Roba told The Star that the national government should step in urgently and address insecurity in the North Eastern region.
"Over a year ago, masts were brought down by these terror groups yet nothing much has been done to repair them," he said.
"The attack was not a coincidence. It was well-calculated and targeted Mandera leaders."
