Kenya’s Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said the government will relax a curfew that has restricted movement in parts of Turkana County for the past three years, citing an improved security situation. Speaking in Lodwar during the 15th stop of the Jukwaa la Usalama county forums, Murkomen announced that operating hours in affected zones—including the Kakuma–Kalobeyei corridor and the Kainuk–Lodwar road—will be extended to 10 p.m.–4 a.m. while officials monitor conditions. Murkomen added that if calm holds for the next three months, the authorities may lift the curfew entirely. The original restrictions were introduced in 2023 and 2025 to curb cattle rustling and bandit attacks around refugee settlements and transport routes, but they have since drawn complaints from residents and businesses. The minister, accompanied by Deputy Inspector-General of the Administration Police Service Gilbert Masengeli and Turkana Governor Jeremiah Lomorukai, also reviewed plans to expand government services in the largely pastoral county, where an estimated 400,000 adults lack national identification documents. A pilot ‘mobile live capture’ program for issuing IDs is under way.
