| Updated Sun, May 28th 2017 at 13:50 GMT +3A curfew imposed in Mandera County in October last year has been varied until the end of the Holy month of Ramadhan. On May 26, Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery issued a special gazette notice saying the curfew orders imposed had been varied to the extent that the variation order will commence on May 26, 2017 and extend for the Ramadhan period. The dusk-to-dawn curfew on Mandera County and Lamu County was aimed at taming terror threats and attacks. Under the Curfew Order, no gathering or procession should have more than five persons without authorization of the County Police Commander. Since then, there have been heightened security operations and more security personnel have been deployed there.
