After issuing a similar warning conveying the three limited options that sugar cartels had, President William Ruto has once again issued a similar warning to terrorists causing unrest in Lamu, this time limiting their options to two.
While addressing a crowd on Saturday, November 4, 2023, the president made it clear that the government will not relent in its fight against terrorism, specifically the Al Shabaab terror group that has been linked to a number of attacks in the country.
Ruto clarified that instructions had been given to relevant agencies and state officials to ensure that the militants are flushed out of the country.
He narrowed down their options to two: Either leaving the country or embarking on a journey to meet their creator.

Kindiki said while releasing the list.
