The government has put on notice politicians and their allies in Marsabit County reported to be engaging in early campaigns which border on hostile activities.
Subsequently, residents have been urged to uphold peace to enable the current development push in the region to continue.
Marsabit county commissioner James Kamau, who was speaking at Maikona Baraza Park in North Horr constituency during a peace meeting that was also graced by Governor Mohamud Ali, pointed out that the government had managed to restore peace and unity among local communities and would not tolerate attempts to negate the gains made.
Mr Kamau said certain politicians were under investigation for involving themselves in activities that don't only point at undermining the authority but also to antagonising wananchi along ethnic lines. "The government is fully committed to ensuring that the existing lull remains so that the ongoing and planned development projects can be implemented as expected," said the CC, adding that no one will be allowed to instil fear in wananchi for selfish political gain.
