This research aims to study the effects of mediation, negotiation and arbitration on peacekeeping and security in Garissa County. Historical rivalries, established cultural beliefs, geographical disputes political provocations, youth idleness, and more recently, the proliferation of illicit weapons, are a few of the things that cause disputes all throughout the world. Garissa County's public security has notably declined as a result of an increase in violent crime and terrorist assaults by al-Shabaab. The long-standing tensions among the Kenyan government and Somalis on a state-society level have led to the current risks to peace and security in Garissa County. Therefore, Garissa County must develop and deploy viable traditional conflict resolution mechanisms to assist in managing and maintaining peace and security. Conflict Resolution Theory and Conflict Triangle Theory form the basis for this research. For this study, a target population of 956 citizens from various management levels are selected, and a sample size of 282 citizens is selected using quota sampling. Data from the respondents are gathered via semi-structured questionnaires. A pilot study involving 28 persons was conducted to evaluate the trustworthiness of the research equipment. Research supervisors and specialists evaluate the chosen instrument's face validity. The researcher uses the responses' internal consistency to verify the validity of the study tool. Both descriptive and inferential statistics are used to analyze the collected data. Permission to conduct the study and collect data is requested from the university and any relevant authorities. The data indicated a significant relationship between the research variables (R-square =.972, F-change = 2332.113, p = 0.000). This reveals that in Garissa County, TCRM procedures are responsible for 97.2% of the security and peacekeeping adjustments. An rise in one variable causes an increase in the other, according to a linear correlation with a significant F ratio of 2332.113 that is significant at the 0.000 level. Using TCRMs (negotiation, mediation, and arbitration) more frequently in Garissa County improves security and peacekeeping. The findings indicate that peacekeeping and security in Garissa County has a positive connection with negotiation practices at (B =0.211 p=0.000). This implies that for every change in negotiation processes, peacekeeping and security increase by 0.211 units. The findings indicate that mediation practices significantly improve peacekeeping and security in Garissa County, with a 0.058 unit change in mediation translating into a 0.058 unit change in peacekeeping and security (B = 0.058, p=0.000). There is a significant positive correlation (B = 0.755, p = 0.000) between arbitration tactics and peacekeeping and security. This means that for every unit change in arbitration strategies, peacekeeping and security increase by 0.755 units. In conclusion, traditional conflict resolution mechanisms including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration processes have a favorable influence on the preservation of peace and security in Garissa County. The degree of peacekeeping and security in Garissa County will increase with the frequency with which the community utilizes these TCRMs
