Dr. Matiang’í said the government has deployed the paramilitary GSU to hunt down criminals following the brutal murder of 13 people in the last one month.
He said the operation will go on until all the suspects are arrested. Citing Mt Elgon, where the government restored sanity after a wave of attacks, the CS said: “Who are these criminals among us? This won’t happen again. We have guns and the police. I have never issued sky promises because the President wants answers.”
