CS Kindiki gives shoot to kill order against criminals targeting police

Speaking while commissioning a General Service Unit (GSU) camp in Tiaty Constituency, Baringo County, Kindiki said any criminal shooting those who have been bestowed duty to protect Kenyans will be dealt with ruthlessly.

The CS also said reiterated government intentions in ending insecurity in the region, adding that the govt will install several camps in Tiaty to quell incessant banditry in the area.

Tiaty Member of Parliament William Kamket welcomed the commissioning of the GSU camp and called for the government to allocate more administrative units to reclaim areas that bandits had taken as their safe haven.

Kamket further called for the deployment of National Police Reservists to compliment the GSU officers in tracking down bandits who still reign in the area causing havoc. 

The Interior CS promised they would enlist police reservists in Tiaty and West Pokot on condition they surrender illegal firearms. 

Silale has been a haven for bandits where they would stage attacks in neighbouring Samburu and Turkana counties and hide in the area.

Three people were killed yesterday in the latest banditry attack in Baragoi, Samburu County.
