“We Will Hunt Them And Flush Them Out!” – Kindiki’s Promise On Banditry in Meru
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has warned bandits tormenting Meru County citizens that they will face the full force of the government, promising increased security operations to apprehend them.
According to the DP, more specialist security officials and police reservists have been dispatched to the area, demonstrating the government’s determination to end banditry and cattle rustling in the region for good.
“We are going to fix this problem once and for all. We will increase national police reservists and security officers in the area. We will hunt them wherever they are and flush them out,” he said.
The DP spoke on Thursday during the Tigania West Constituency Economic Empowerment Engagement in Athwana, Meru County.
The killing of a police reservist last week has intensified calls for tougher action against armed criminals in Meru County.

He cited the accomplishments gained in dealing with bandits in Kerio Valley, North Rift, and terrorists in Lamu.
The DP stressed that the same force and tact would be used to combat the criminals and cattle rustlers threatening peace in Meru North.
“This is a national problem. It is beyond the governor, MP, MCA or local leaders. We are ready for it and I will ensure peace and order is fully restored in Meru,” he affirmed.
The Deputy President stated that the Mt Kenya region would not leave the government, promising to keep all of the administration’s promises to the region.

Kindiki informed people that ongoing initiatives in the region would be accelerated so that they may benefit.
“We will not let the people suffer. We will support them until the situation eases,” he promised.
