Burglars Break Into Kisumu County Assembly, Steal TV Set Among Other Items

Police in Kisumu are probing a theft incident at the Kisumu county assembly chambers where two TV screens and a public address system were stolen over the weekend.

According to reports, an unknown number of thugs broke into the assembly chambers through the windows and stole the equipment.

DCI officers from Kisumu Central Police Station dusted the scene on Monday morning as they began investigations to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Assembly Clerk Owen Ojuok confirmed the incident, saying they have already reported it and are hopeful that police will apprehend the suspects.

However, questions will undoubtedly be raised about how the thugs gained access to the secure premise, which shares a wall fence with the Kisumu central police station.

The assembly is guarded 24 hours by a private security firm and also two police officers.

The assembly Hansard team frequently uses the TV screens and audio mixer to broadcast live sessions.
