NAIROBI cheap nike air force 1 shoes , Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Kenyan government said Thursday it has deployed more security forces at troubled spots in the country's northern region.
Cabinet Secretary for Interior Joseph Ole Lenku said the police have been given fire instructions to pursue the bandits involved in criminal activities in four northern counties.
"The government also wishes to reassure Kenyans that the government is taking all the necessary steps to ensure that security is maintained in all parts of the country especially as we approach the festive season," Lenku said in a statement issued in Nairobi.
He called on Kenyans to remain vigilant and promptly report to the authorities any suspicious incidents or person that may threaten security.
"The need for personal vigilance is more so during the approaching festive season when crime and incidents of insecurity tend to heighten," he said.
The statement came after at least 12 people were killed and five others injured in Marsabit County in clashes between two rival militias.
Marsabit County Commissioner Isaiah Nakoru confirmed that armed militia from Borana communities engaged their rivals from Burji and Gabra for more than four hours at Olale area Odha location in Marsabit.
"It's difficult to establish the number of those killed because the militias escaped with their victims and those killed from the scene of the incident," Nakoru said on Wednesday.
Thousands of families, mostly women cheap nike air force 1 for sale , children and the elderly, have fled the border town, following alleged rumors of impending retaliation.
The clashes between the Borana on one side and the Gabra, Burji and Garre on the other have taken a new shape with politicians accused of having a hand in the ethnic conflict.
Lenku said police officers who were heading from Lomero to Lokori where they had gone to deliver food rations to their fellow colleagues were ambushed on Wednesday on the way by armed bandits believed to be Pokots from Baringo East district.
"An exchange of fire ensued and as a result, a lady who had been given a lift by the officers and who happened to be the wife of a Chief was shot dead. Two officers were injured and one Kenya police reservist was also seriously injured cheap authentic nike air force 1 ," he said.
"Following this incident, the National Police Service has mounted an operation with a view to restoring security in the area and bringing the culprits to book," he said.
The area has experienced sporadic conflicts for sometime now between the warring communities, but the conflict escalated on Thursday leading to a number of people getting injured, including the burning of vehicles and other acts of lawlessness.
"The police swung into action and as a result cheap nike air force 1 china , 20 looters were arrested and an assortment of goods recovered. The police are pursuing other criminals and it is expected that more arrests will be made in the next few days," Lenku said.
He said the government has also intensified security operations in Moyale and neighboring regions to restore security, law and order.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's favorability rating is dropping, signaling an end to her era of high favorability even before she announces her run for president http://www.wholesaleairforce1cheap.com/ , according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.
Although a majority of Americans continue to view her in a positive light, the former First Lady's favorability rate slipped from 59 percent in February to 54 percent as she publicizes her new memoir, "Hard Choices."
Her popularity is significantly lower now than while she served as Secretary of State, when she consistently passed the 60 percent mark, Gallup found.
Though Hillary Clinton has said she will not announce whether she will run for president until later this year wholesale nike air force 1 free shipping , her latest book is seen as setting the stage for another presidential bid.
She already has the support of many elected officials and Democratic Party representatives if she chooses to run. Her favorability soared while she served as Secretary of State during Obama's first term, with two-thirds of Americans -- 66 percent -- viewing her favorably in consecutive polls in 2011 and 2012.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton enjoyed extremely high ratings from fellow Democrats and saw her ratings increase among Republicans as well.
Her numbers peaked with Republicans in mid-2012 when 41 percent viewed her favorably, but fell with the Republicans and independents after the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya authentic nike air force 1 wholesale , that killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, Gallup found.
But Hillary Clinton's current favorability rating is the lowest since August 2008 when she was preparing to deliver a speech at the Democratic National Convention endorsing then-Senator Barack Obama, who defeated her in a hard-fought primary battle for the party's 2008 presidential nomination.
Republican operatives and media pundits have also publicly questioned whether Clinton's health and age, at 66 now wholesale nike air force 1 china , could hinder her ability to serve as president.
Former president Bill Clinton, who in the same poll received a 64 percent favorable rating, has commanded majority favorability from Americans during most of his time as president and in post- presidential life, Gallup said.
Some may view Bill Clinton's high favorability ratings as an advantage for Hillary if she decides on another presidential run. But Bill's favorability did take a hit when he joined her on the 2008 campaign trail.
By January 2008 -- a year after Hillary announced her candidacy- - his favorability hit a five-year low of 50 percent, barely ahead of Hillary's 48 percent nike air force 1 wholesale bulk , Gallup found.
