The security situation in Dukana sub-county in North Horr constituency which witnessed some disturbances after two local ethnic communities clashed over the weekend has improved with normalcy steadily returning to the area.
This follows enhanced security patrols and an operation aimed at bringing to book 30 suspects believed to be behind the mayhem that left four people dead and one expectant woman critically injured.
Marsabit County commissioner James Kamau said the multiagency security team dispatched to the Saru and Dukana areas has so far succeeded in arresting 17 suspects among them four prime suspects who preliminary investigations indicate were directly linked to the crimes committed.
Mr Kamau who was briefing the press in his office said 145 goats stolen during the skirmishes have also been recovered with efforts being made to recover the remaining livestock whose number is yet to be established.
