PRESS STATEMENT ON INSECURITY IN LAIKIPIA COUNTY
9th September 2021
Fellow Kenyans,
Members of the Press,
1. The Council of Governors is drawn to the recent sporadic incidents of insecurity in Laikipia County where armed bandits continue to viciously conduct raids which have adversely affected the community leading to:-
• Loss of life in the affected areas in Laikipia County
• Displacement of residents;
• Massive destruction and loss of property; and
• Inaccessibility of basic services such as education and health care.
2. The Council vehemently condemns the gross violation of human rights by the Bandits who are causing a lot of mayhem in Laikipia County. It is equally worrying and alarming the ease with which fire arms are being accessed by bandits and militants who are causing undue unrest to residents.
