Kyuso deputy county commissioner Mr. Peter Maina has given a
stiff warning to bandits who have been interfering with peace of people from
Ngomeni division of kyuso sub-county.
He said that the bandits have been threatening the residents
by shooting on the air. He added that those bandits have become a bother to the
resident and to the security officers in the area since they have been spending
sleepless nights pursuing these bandits.
“Nobody has been arrested of the same but soon or later we
will” said Mr. Maina. He assured the resident of the government efforts to
restore peace in Ngomeni especially Kavaani which is the most affected with
insecurity. He said that the government
has procured and delivered 2 DT GK motorbikes for use by officers with the help
of locals in pursuing these bandits.
The resident cannot go to their farms because of fear of
being attacked. It’s expected that people from this area might become food
insecure if this problem persist since they didn’t get time to cater for their
crops.
Mr. Maina was speaking at Kyuso stadium when he preceded
over independence day- Jamhuri as Kenya commemorated 50years of self
independence. 50 years of independence in kyuso was celebrated well with heavy
down pour.
He said that the cause of all this conflict is all about
boundary between kamba farmers and Somali herders. “I think the best thing is
for these two communities to know their boundary and stay in their land. Said
Maina “It’s extremely funny that there is no a single day that kambas have
evaded the herders but opposite happens why! Why! "
The residents were also advised not to go near the “Mboga
wells” where these armed bandits are saturated.
