Governors have piled pressure on the National Government to involve counties in State security.

Council of Governors Chairman Isaac Ruto said this would play a major role in reducing terrorist attacks.

Mr Ruto also said the terrorists who killed Garissa University students should not make non-Somalis stereotype the Somali community as terrorists, since only specific individuals were criminals.
Suspicious elements

He said every Kenyan community had its own criminals and urged the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious elements in their midst.

“This way, the criminals can be apprehended and charged,” he said.

The Bomet governor spoke at the Africa Riverside Gospel Church in Bomet town where he led residents in praying for families who lost their children and those yet to recover at various hospitals following the university attack.

During the service, the church received 13 students from the county who survived the attack.

Mr Ruto made arrangements to transport the students to their respective homes spread across the sub-counties.
