Murkomen Wipes Out Rogue Reservists in Kerio Valley

Kenya security chief Murkomen said all police reservists working in Kerio Valley must pass new tests. Those who succeed will receive fresh training for their jobs. He changed policies so these officers now report directly to local police station commanders. The security leader criticized some reservists for breaking the law themselves. Officials have started replacing those involved in crimes.

The government plans special camps for reservists in three counties. Every reservist will join the national health program. Their families will receive school money before others. Local chiefs can apply for gun permits in dangerous areas. Officers with behavior problems face legal action.

Chiefs will earn promotions based on good work. The government opened a new office with vehicles for the area deputy commissioner. Police commanders will arrive soon at the station. Officials plan to build more offices next budget year. Land fights and highway attacks worry leaders in both regions.

Murkomen asked locals to help keep peace with security teams. He complained about people blocking roads during police operations. Workers build special security roads across the area. The leader knows which community members hinder peace efforts. Police will catch these troublemakers soon.
