Inspector General of police Joseph Boinnet directs Rift Valley Police commander Mwamburi to take action against those inciting violence in Kainuk on the Turkana-West Pokot border.
The wrangles which have been in the area for decades now seems to be escalating with no hopes of ceasing. Three people were killed on Sunday when bandits from one of the two warring communities attacked their rivals.
The Inspector General has ordered the Regional Police Commander, Rift Valley to use all available Police resources to stop the violence and restore order to allow members of the public to lead normal lives.
The RPC has further been ordered to step up investigations into the role of certain identified individuals who are suspected of inciting violence in the area and bring them to book in accordance with the law.
The IG call on members of the public to cooperate with Police Officers in an effort to deal with the rustlers who are out to wreck the peace and trust that the local residents have built amongst themselves.
