Police in Muhoroni, Kisumu throw peace bash
The security team in Muhoroni Sub County on Saturday threw a new year’s bash for representatives of communities living along the boundary of Kisumu and Nandi counties as they celebrated a period of relative peace and tranquility in the border town.
The Nandi-Muhoroni border has been a trouble spot over the years with frequent inter-border conflicts pitying the Kalenjin and the Luo communities, being a common feature.
However, the area has witnessed relative calm as a result of peace initiatives by various groups including the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and the police.
Muhoroni OCPD Mr Joshua Nyasimi who presided over the get together ceremony between police and the community representatives at Chemelil police post associated the peace in the border town to frequent public engagements and police participation.
“We are happy that the security situation along the Muhoroni-Nandi border has been calm thanks to the public engagements and frequent consultations between security authorities from the two border towns,” Mr Nyasimi disclosed.
Flanked by Muhoroni Sub County Administration Police boss Tom Ndiege and DCI boss Cosmas Makusa among other senior security officers in the border town, Mr Nyasimi lauded members of the public for their collaborative efforts with the security officers that had led to peace in the area.
“We decided to have a small get together with the community to thank them for heeding to our calls for peace which has informed the calm we have witnessed in this town and also to thank local MP (Onyango K’Oyoo) for his assistance in the peace efforts,” Mr Nyasimi said.
Mr Ndiege noted that security officers in the area had mapped three major hotspots – Muhoroni town, Kopere and Kibigori centres, which they focused on thus birthing the peace in the areas.
“The three areas had been the epicenters for the conflicts but once we mapped them out and deployed officers there working with the local communities, we have witnessed a period of relative peace which is encouraging,” Mr Ndiege said.
Mr Nyasimi noted that the establishment of a functional Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) camp, Peace Committee and a good relationship between the political leaders at the border has boosted the peace efforts.
RDU is a component of Administration Police tasked with provision and maintenance of peace and security in adverse situations in the Country in observance of the rule of law.
The situation at the Nandi-Muhoroni border has since become a stark contrast to that of Sondu-Kericho where deadly ethnic conflicts claimed at least seven lifes and left scores of others nursing serious injuries late last year.
The flare ups also led to massive destruction of property.
The inter-community clashes have often been blamed on the protracted boundary tussles, livestock theft and political differences among.
During the security and community party at Chemelil police post on Saturday, the community vowed to continue advocating for the peaceful co-existence for the sake of development.
The Saturday luncheon, the police officers said, was planned to thank God for the blessings of 2023 and to usher in 2024 through worship and get together.
After sharing a meal with the community, it was time for the officers and the residents to listen to the word of God which was led by Bishop Dalton Ogonda of Full Gospel Churches of Kenya.
The cleric urged the community to build close working relationships with the police officers.
“We also thank the police for their impressive work and urge them to stay focused and brave so save the community by discharging their duties without fear or favour,” said the bishop
