Interior CS Kithure Kindiki on Thursday held discussions with leaders from Turkana county over cattle rustling and banditry.
He hosted leaders from the banditry zones in North Rift as part of the government’s bid to find a lasting solution to the menace.
"The meeting explored ways of urgently entrenching security across the region and the promotion of ideal policies and programmes to support cohesion and economic growth," he said.
Kindiki started the talks on Wednesday with leaders from West Pokot and Baringo.
The meeting comes in the wake of a statement by President William Ruto on longstanding insecurity in the region.
“Our discussion was on ways to combat cattle rusting and other related challenges in their region,” he said.
While in Turkana for a food distribution programme at the weekend, Ruto noted with concern the increased insecurity in the area.
“I know those who run the cattle rustling schemes are watching me now. I am warning you against trying my temper. You will face my full wrath,” he said.
