For years, communities in the Kerio Valley have lived under the shadow of insecurity. Bandit attacks, illegal firearms, and constant fear have disrupted everyday life. But now, signs of hope are emerging.
Religious and political leaders have praised the government and the Ministry of Interior for the strides made in restoring peace across six counties in the North Rift region.
Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Wisely Rotich, alongside area MP Timothy Toroitich, lauded the ongoing security operations, saying they are making a meaningful difference. The leaders also urged individuals still holding illegal firearms to surrender them, emphasizing that lasting peace can only be achieved when communities and government work together.
This encouraging development comes just a day after three notorious bandits, who had been terrorizing residents in the Kerio Valley, surrendered to authorities. They handed over AK-47 rifles, ammunition, and even police uniforms, a symbolic step that many hope marks the beginning of lasting calm in the region.
The call now is for all stakeholders; leaders, residents, and the government to continue working hand in hand so that the Kerio Valley can finally reclaim its peace and prosperity.
