He said cases of banditry and cattle rustling have declined thanks to the security interventions the government has implemented in the Eastern and Rift Valley regions.

“We are, however, intensifying our efforts to stamp out the crimes in some of the areas still facing the challenge," he said.

The CS convened the meeting of the Eastern and Rift Valley Regional security teams together with the county security teams from Isiolo, Meru, Laikipia, Samburu and Marsabit.
