CS Murkomen Hails Security Gains in Isiolo
Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has hailed the significant security gains made in Isiolo County, crediting a sustained multi-agency operation for restoring stability. The CS, speaking during a development tour, stated that the region, once plagued by banditry and cross-border crime, is now experiencing a period of relative peace that is enabling economic activities to flourish. He praised the collaboration between security forces and local communities for the positive turnaround.
The CS attributed the success to the establishment of new police posts in remote areas, increased patrols, and a concerted effort to disarm warring communities. He noted that the improved security has allowed for the reopening of schools and markets that were previously closed due to incessant attacks. The government’s investment in security roads was also highlighted as a key factor in enhancing the mobility of security personnel.
While celebrating the progress, CS Murkomen cautioned against complacency, affirming that the security operation will be sustained to consolidate the gains. He urged local leaders to continue championing peace and reconciliation to ensure the benefits of security translate into long-term development for the people of Isiolo.
