The government is set to review the 6am to 6pm curfew imposed in Kainuk, a volatile area bordering West Pokot and Turkana, for the first time in three years.
While holding a Jukwaa la Usalama meeting with security chiefs in Turkana on Wednesday, July 16, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced that the government will review the curfew with a view to lifting it after a period of relative calm in the region.
CS Murkomen observed that peace in the areas of Turkana South and East had necessitated the review. "I will be reviewing the curfew timing based on the security briefing to give locals more time as we monitor the situation.
In three months, if the conditions become good, we might consider lifting the orders," Murkomen said at a media briefing in Lodwar.
