Security personnel in Naivasha are on high alert following reports that members of the outlawed Mungiki sect were planning to hold a meeting in the town.
Naivasha Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) Joseck Nasio said police had received information indicating that members of the sect had been searching for a venue for the meeting.
The meeting is allegedly meant to chart way forward after the Mungiki leader Maina Njenga deserted the sect and converted to Christianity.
"It's alleged the Mungiki members want to meet to elect new officials, but we are not going to allow it," Mr. Nasio said.
Mr. Nasio warned that anybody trying to disrupt peace in the town will be dealt with without mercy.
Police in the past have arrested hundreds of suspected Mungiki members in Naivasha and recovered paraphernalia believed to be used in oathing ceremonies.
