Gov’t Declares 14 Regions As Security-Disturbed For 30 Days
In response to reports of violent skirmishes, the government declared parts of Narok County’s Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South constituencies to be security-disturbed and dangerous for 30 days.
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen issued a press release on December 22, 2025, citing a Gazette Notice dated December 19, 2025, that identified Kilgoris, Ang’ata Barrikoi, Lolgorian town, Mogondo, Keyian, Kirindon, Olderkesi, Nkararo, and Kapsasian as security-disturbed and dangerous regions in Narok County.
In addition, the December 19 gazette notification listed Kakemer, Ntimaru, Masurura, Kapsarok, Mogor, Nairagie Enkare, Maji Moto, and Naisoya as insecure regions in Narok.
To address the prevailing security situation in Narok County, I have declared parts of Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South as security-disturbed and dangerous for a period of 30 days.

According to the administration, security presence in the aforementioned locations has been greatly increased, with more officers deployed to prevent future violence and safeguard citizens.
The announcement aims to allow security authorities to expand operations and implement peace-building initiatives in areas touched by recent violence and instability.
Given that a dawn-to-dusk curfew is already in effect in the affected areas, authorities believe the move has helped to limit the situation as security forces increase patrols and monitoring.
Tribal clashes in Angata Barikkoi, Trans Mara South, have displaced over 1,800 people in just three days.

The Interior CS stated that calm is gradually returning to the area, as security agencies continue to constantly monitor the situation to avoid further flare-ups.
The CS added that the government was engaging local leaders, elders, and other security stakeholders to address the underlying causes of the conflict, including land disputes and community tensions.

Murkomen continued to stress that the security operations are not only focused on enforcement but also on reconciliation and restoring long-term peace among communities that have lived together peacefully for years.
“The Government remains committed to ensuring that the communities, which have for a long time lived together in peace and harmony, bring an end to the current animosities and fully embrace peaceful coexistence,” Murkomen’s press release concluded.
Residents have been urged to cooperate with security agencies, observe the curfew, and report any suspicious activities as efforts to stabilise the area continue.
“The notice shall take effect on December 19, as of 6:00pm, for a period of thirty (30) days and may, at any time, be withdrawn or continued in force for such further period as the Cabinet Secretary may, in each case, by notice in the Kenya Gazette direct,” the Gazette Notice read.
