On Tuesday, President William Ruto announced the start of a three-day voluntary disarmament exercise across six bandit-prone counties of Samburu, Turkana, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Baringo and Laikipia.

Interior cabinet secretary Kithure Kindiki on Monday said marauding bandits and livestock rustling terrorists have brutally murdered over 100 civilians and 16 police officers in the Northern Rift Valley region.
The CS imposed a 30-day dusk-to-dawn curfew in some banditry-hit areas to set the pace for the operation.

In the order, there shall be no public gatherings, processions, or movements, either alone or as a group, during the period of the curfew except as has been permitted in writing by the Inspector-General of the National Police Service.
