Lamu and Tana River security committees and the Lamu-Mombasa PSV owners are at loggerheads over a decision by the government to reduce police escorts on the road. Security representatives and regional leaders from Lamu and Tana River also attended. Lamu county police commander Moses Muriithi said their biggest hurdle is the shortage of escort vehicles. Tana River county commander Fredrick Ochieng warned that militants are always on the prowl seeking easy targets in their areas and urged stakeholders to work together to alleviate threats. Another security team will leave Ndeu at 7.30am and arriving at Gamba at 11am.
