The government has declared parts of the Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South constituencies in Narok County as security-disturbed and dangerous areas for a period of 30 days in response to cases of violent clashes.
In a press release dated December 22, 2025, Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen shared a Gazette Notice dated December 19, 2025, listing Kilgoris, Ang'ata Barrikoi, Lolgorian town, Mogondo, Keyian, Kirindon, Olderkesi, Nkararo, and Kapsasian as security-disturbed and dangerous areas of Narok County.
In addition, the gazette notice dated December 19, also logged Kakemer, Ntimaru, Masurura, Kapsarok, Mogor, Nairagie Enkare, Maji Moto, and Naisoya as other regions within Narok that were considered insecure.
According to the government, security presence in the listed areas has been significantly enhanced, with additional officers deployed to prevent further violence and protect residents.
The declaration is intended to allow security agencies to scale up operations and roll out peace-building interventions in areas affected by recent violence and instability.
Considering that a dawn-to-dusk curfew is already in force in the affected regions, authorities say the measure has helped to contain the situation as security personnel intensify patrols and surveillance.
The Interior CS remarked that calm is gradually returning to the area, as security agencies continue to monitor the situation closely to prevent fresh flare-ups.
The CS added that the government was engaging local leaders, elders, and other security stakeholders to address the underlying causes of the conflict, including land disputes and community tensions.
Murkomen continued to stress that the security operations are not only focused on enforcement but also on reconciliation and restoring long-term peace among communities that have lived together peacefully for years.
"The Government remains committed to ensuring that the communities, which have for a long time lived together in peace and harmony, bring an end to the current animosities and fully embrace peaceful coexistence," Murkomen's press release concluded.
Residents have been urged to cooperate with security agencies, observe the curfew, and report any suspicious activities as efforts to stabilise the area continue.
"The notice shall take effect on December 19, as of 6:00pm, for a period of thirty (30) days and may, at any time, be withdrawn or continued in force for such further period as the Cabinet Secretary may, in each case, by notice in the Kenya Gazette direct," the Gazette Notice read.
