Among the resolutions is a freeze on the movement of people from 6 p.m to 6 a.m. and intensified police patrols and restriction of movement in clash prone settlements with North Eastern PC James ole Serian saying the government will deploy General Service Unit(GSU) and the Rapid Deployment Unit(RDU) if need be.
Police have also been mandated to hunt down those that are believed to have been responsible for the violence after fierce accusations from local leaders on a security laxity before and during the clashes.
In an emotional meeting where elders from the warring clans shed tears during the reconciliation meeting at the Farmers Training Centre in Garissa, religious and political leaders called for unity members urged their community leaders to embrace dialogue and resolve any of their outstanding issues amicably.
Present during the meeting were Defense Minister Yussuf Hajji, Livestock Assistant minister Aden Dualle and Nominated MP Sofia Abdi Noor and religious leaders who all condemned the government for laxity as people were killed and property destroyed.
An elder, Mohamed Duale, told Mr ole Seriani that the government was responsible since no arrests have been made despite three days of skirmishes.
