Naisula Lesuuda, MP for Samburu West, has confirmed that a family has lost 200 goats and sheep in yet another bandit attack in the region.
According to Lesuuda, who spoke on NTV AMLive, at least one person was injured during the attack.
“This morning when I woke up, I received a message that there was an attack and a family lost 200 goats… that is the situation as we speak. The President has been dared, there is just so much impunity,” she said.
The MP stated that she no longer has the strength to continue selling false hope to her constituents. She urged the government and all security forces to stop pointing fingers and instead work together to put an end to the terror in the country’s north.
“The President spoke in Baragoi and said don’t try me. He has been dared again this morning,” he added.
According to Lesuuda the bandits terrorising the northern parts of the country no longer care for the law.
“There is so much impunity in the North. There is so much attitude like, ‘Mtado?’.”
In October, the legislator was moved to tears while questioning Interior CS Kithure Kindiki about his plans to end the region’s pain and chaos.
Kindiki in his response promised to re-energize community policing and deal harshly with perpetrators.
“I will request for facilitation to improve existing capabilities for air and land mobility and protection of officers who keep peace. I will stay focused until this problem is over even if it means coming to live in the North Rift, not for a week or month and we will stay there as long as it is necessary. We will speak less because security does not require speaking but we will follow the law but still do the job,” said Kindiki.
Lesuuda has also stated that Kindiki will return to the region within the next two weeks in an effort to end the insecurity.
