Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Narok senator Ledama Olekina has advised the government to devise new ways of fighting banditry attacks in the northern part of Kenya.<\/p>\n

Ledama, who spoke during an interview with Hot 96 FM, said through a well-formulated dialogue with the region\u2019s administration and leaders, a solution to the menace will be achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis problem would only be amicably solved if the government and the local leadership and administration dialogued to find the source of the vice, \u201che said.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker challenged the President to evaluate and deploy a local investigation to establish those behind the attacks<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President needs to evaluate and investigate through the help of local administration the sources of the weapons used by the bandits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Azimio la Umoja one Kenya coalition allied member said a forceful fight against the bandits would yield no fruit since security officers would be fighting an unknown war.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot use force to fight the bandits, this war needs people who understand the pastoralists’ culture so well and know the terrain to succeed in the fight,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He further added that a modern system of marking would help slaughterhouses know the geographical origin of the heads of cows sold to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to have a modern system of regional marking of heads of cattle this would help abattoirs understand the origin of heads brought to their disposal.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

He said from this, the abattoirs would at all times remain accountable for the heads they receive from the locals for slaughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the marking system the abatures will be able to say, we received cattle from region x and slaughtered an x number of cattle from region X,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The ODM senator added that arresting and probing those found capable through traditional ways of punishment and the modern ways would help end the menace.<\/p>\n

He claimed that some leaders who had failed in their political ambitions resorted to funding banditry attacks to gain power.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone who wants to become a leader must look for power, we need to have a sober leadership of the people on the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
