    "content": "ammunitions for them. Police efforts to restore peace and bring to book perpetrators of violence have been a challenge due to lack of direct evidence linking them. In addition, the local community is unwilling to betray their leaders. In a bid to eliminate the militia and restore security in Marsabit, the Government, through the police and other security stakeholders, has constantly employed the following measures: 1. Deployment of additional officers in volatile areas and outposts. 2. Enhanced police patrols within towns and their outskirts. 3. Peace-making initiatives through the local administrators, elders and other key stakeholders. 4. Erecting barriers and roadblocks to curb trafficking of small arms and other weapons. However, there is an urgent need to conduct a disarmament exercise in Marsabit County to flash out militia who are in possession of illegal firearms. There are plans to deploy a detachment of special forces at the county level. Similarly, consideration should be made for the allocation of adequate resources and deployment of specialised equipment like armoured personnel carriers. The local leadership, through chiefs and assistant chiefs, have been engaged in peace negotiations within the warring communities with the aim of returning the stolen livestock to the keepers. A policy has been developed that every chief takes responsibility in case the footsteps of stolen stock reach their area or jurisdiction. I beg to submit."
