The government is set to review the 6 am to 6 pm curfew imposed in Kanuk for the first time in three years.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced on Wednesday, July 16, that the government will review the curfew and consider lifting it.
“I will be reviewing the curfew timing based on the security briefing to give locals more time as we monitor the situation. In three months, if the conditions become good, we might consider lifting the orders”, CS Murkomen said.
According to the CS, the review will reduce the curfew period to between 10 pm and 4 am.
The curfew restrictions were imposed due to security concerns aimed at restoring peace and order in the region, particularly in the Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei settlement.
Clashes between the security forces and the bandits led to the imposition of a curfew, but drew concerns from residents who complained about disruptions to their transportation and commercial activities.
