Our dear President, Uhuru Kenyatta this morning is expected to tour Kapedo in Turkana where 20 police officers were shot dead by bandits in one of the worst attacks against security forces . Head of State is to be accompanied by top security chiefs from the military and police as well as the Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku to assess the situation. He had been expected to attend a thanks giving prayer service for disciplined service officers and their families at the Holy Family Basilica, Nairobi, but officials said he will first visit Kapedo. The President is understood to be concerned about the increased banditry attacks in the area where 23 police officers have been killed in just two weeks, raising concerns on the capacity of the country’s security forces. Bodies of eight of the officers killed by bandits were recovered on Saturday morning, before 12 others who had gone missing after the attack were recovered later in the evening. Reports from Turkana indicate that most of those killed are GSU officers who were ambushed while pursuing raiders in the volatile region of Kapedo, where five other people, including three police officers were killed and their vehicle burnt while escorting examination materials. Pls pray for our president. An external hand could be acting behind the scene.
