Deputy County Commissioner gives warning to bandits

By John Njue
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.
