He emphasised Wajir’s strong security standing, adding, “Wajir is one of the safest counties in the country and by extension, Wajir town is one of the safest towns.” He attributed this success to the collective efforts of the security teams, noting, “These teams have played a very crucial role to bring stability and security in Wajir.”
DIG Lagat also expressed appreciation for the local community’s support, saying, “I want to specifically thank the people of the county of Wajir for the continuous support they have given to security agencies.
