County Commissioner Wants Baringo Leaders to Unite Against Insecurity
The Baringo County Commissioner has issued a passionate appeal to local leaders to set aside their political and communal differences and form a united front against the common enemy of banditry and insecurity. The commissioner emphasized that a fragmented leadership only emboldens criminals and prolongs the suffering of residents. He called for a consolidated voice that prioritizes the safety and well-being of the people above all other interests.
The commissioner stressed that security is a collective responsibility that requires the input and cooperation of all elected and appointed leaders. He urged them to use their influence to preach peace, encourage youth to shun crime, and support government-led security operations, including disarmament initiatives. A divided leadership, he warned, sends conflicting signals that undermine the efforts of security agencies on the ground.
The appeal was made during a meeting with grassroots administrators, who were directed to enhance peace dialogues in their localities. The leaders present acknowledged the need for unity and pledged to work together to mobilize community support for peace. The commissioner’s call is expected to pave the way for a more harmonious and coordinated approach to tackling the security challenges that have plagued the county for years.
