NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 12 – Bandits have killed a family of three in Baringo despite assurances by the government on enhanced security.
Those killed include a father, mother, and their three-year-old child who were attached at Chemoe area on Thursday.
In a miraculous twist of fate, three motorbike riders managed to survive the ruthless attack but sustained severe injuries.
They were taken to Baringo County Referral Hospital for medical treatment.
The assailants are reported to have targeted two more individuals in the Natan area within the Constituency.
Government urged to enhance security
Baringo North MP, Joseph Makilap, has called on Interior Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Kithure Kindiki, to take immediate decisive action to address the issue.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining security operations in the area to guarantee safety.
The menace of cattle rustling in the northern part of the country has consistently disrupted the economic well-being of local residents.
“These bandits have sown chaos in this area leaving us searching for a safe haven,” said Joshua Chepkony, a resident from Chemoe.
