Our security forces are ready to act decisively against those who threaten the peace of this town,” Otieno stated.
The security committee meeting brought together various stakeholders, including local leaders, security personnel, and community representatives. Through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, the committee aims to implement effective solutions to curb the rising insecurity and restore confidence among the residents of Garissa.
