In a continued effort to strengthen civil-military relations and support community development, troops from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) conducted a Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) activity at Githima Centre, approximately 12 kilometres southwest of Ngoisusu Forward Operating Base (FOB).
The soldiers, drawn from 20 Battery, 55 Artillery Battalion, engaged residents in a series of humanitarian and recreational initiatives aimed at fostering goodwill and enhancing security cooperation with the local population. The activities included the distribution of clean water, provision of medical services and food supplies, and a friendly football match between the troops and the local Githima FC football team.
During the engagement, the KDF personnel encouraged the youth to actively participate in sports and community initiatives, underscoring the importance of positive engagement in sustaining peace and development in the region.
Local leaders and residents warmly welcomed the support and expressed their gratitude for the assistance offered. They affirmed their commitment to working closely with security agencies in combating insecurity and promoting lasting peace, particularly in areas previously affected by banditry.
The event reflects KDF’s ongoing commitment to Operation Maliza Uhalifu, which continues to prioritize the protection of civilians and the restoration of peace in the North Rift and surrounding regions through both security operations and community-centred engagements.
