There was no politician attended the closed-door security meeting chaired by Ruto with top security chiefs. Senator Kipchumba Murkomen( Marakwet East), Laikipia Senator GG Kariuki and Laikipia West MP Wachira Karani had accompanied the deputy president but were not allowed to address the security meeting. Ruto said the operation in Laikipia would be under one police command, and the commander will be answerable to the highest authorities. He added that two platoons of GSU officers and armoured vehicles would be deployed next week to reinforce the existing officers in Laikipia. He directed the security officers to round up the parents and ensure they face the full force of the law.
