The British High Commission has expressed outrage at the deaths targeting their nationals as the violence escalates without an end in sight. Last month, Deputy President William Ruto convened a meeting in Laikipia and issued a directive to the security agencies to rein in the bandits. He promised enhanced security operations to end the violence. As we have said before and must repeat now, the problem in Laikipia is not just about grazing fields. This is the reason the government must come out forcefully to apprehend those behind the raids and punish them severely to end the mayhem.
