President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered repossession of 500,000 acres of land grabbed in Lamu, which he says was a major cause of the recent violence witnessed there.
He has subsequently instructed the necessary authorities to immediately commence an investigation into the criminal conspiracy and the perpetrators brought to account.
Speaking after meeting religious and political leaders from Lamu, the president said all the tittles would be revoked and all those involved arrested and prosecuted.
The head of state added that the criminal conspiracy has disposed individuals and families living in this area of their land and fuelled the current insecurity being experienced in the region and frustrated their efforts to restore peace.
Over 90 people have been killed in the region since last month, mainly shot or hacked to death by a militia group.
