Youths involved in skirmishes along the Rift Valley and Nyanza provinces border will face the full force of the law if arrested, Nyanza PC, Paul Olando has warned.

He said the government has already arrested 36 youths after they were found engaging in criminal activities along the Borabu-Sotik districts border and beefed up security in the area.

Olando said the government will not give in to demands by a section of politicians from the area to have those arrested in the operation transferred and charged in courts in their home districts.

The PC was speaking during the inauguration of the newly created South Gucha district at Nyamarambe district headquarters.

Tension has remained high on the Borabu- Sotik border following chaos that erupted after the announcement of last year's presidential election results and the death of Ainamoi MP David Kimutai Too.

Twenty people have been killed and property of unknown value destroyed in communal violence between two communities in the area.
