Baringo County Commissioner Abdirisack Jaldesa has commissioned 20 National Police Reservists (NPR) recruited and deployed to insecurity-prone areas of Baringo North Sub-county to assist other agencies in restoring peace and stability in the area.

Jaldesa (pictured) said the number was part of the 80 NPRs commissioned by Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Mohammed Maalim on Tuesday last week at Lamaiwe area of Mochongoi division to end runaway insecurity in the county.

Accompanied by the county security team, Jaldesa said the recruits would be under the command of an OCS Baringo North.

Jaldesa said in the sub-county, areas like Yatya, Chepkesin, Kapturo and Chemoe were among the most volatile and it was expected the recruits would be a game changer.

He encouraged the officers to immediately embark on their new responsibilities and be more vigilant in their line of duty.

“Be on your toes every day to see this insecurity menace comes to an end. We believe in you and we are very optimistic that you will be able to tackle insecurity within Baringo North,” he told the reservists.

He said the NPRs would team up with the formations including Rapid Deployment Unit, Anti Stock Theft Units and General Service Unit as a way of complimenting efforts.
