Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Marsabit leaders led by Governor Mohamud Ali have condemned the killing of a police officer by armed bandits.<\/p>\n

The officer was killed at Kubi qalo in Saku constituency Wednesday morning as they pursued stolen livestock.<\/p>\n

Another police officer was injured and was rushed to Marsabit Referral hospital and later airlifted to Nairobi for further treatment.<\/p>\n

“I have received with great sadness and shock news of the police officer killed and other injured by the armed bandits in kubi Qalo’s areas .” Governor Mohamud said.<\/p>\n

“I send my heartfelt condolences to the families of the officer and speedy recovery to the injured one,” he added.<\/p>\n

An eight-year-old boy was also injured in the attack after he was shot in the head.<\/p>\n

The governor said the county residents are tired of insecurity incidences where hundreds of people have lost their lives and livelihoods while criminals go unpunished.<\/p>\n

The county chief said in the past three years, many insecurity incidents happened in Saku subcounty causing a state of unrest and forced communities out of their homes.<\/p>\n

He called on the government to beef up security and mop up illegal firearms in the region.<\/p>\n

“If the bandits can kill the security officer dispatched by the government to protect the people and their properties,how safe are the residents.” he asked<\/p>\n

The governor called on the members of the public to work with security agencies to ensure criminals are brought to book.<\/p>\n

He noted that providing security was government’s mandate which also required the support of the citizens<\/p>\n

Mohamud warned residents against shielding criminals insisting that suspicious movements must be reported to security agencies in the interest of continued peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n

He said his administration will establish a new and exclusive standing committee on peace and dialogue with the mandate of providing permanent support to peace building and inter-ethnic dialogue and mediation at the community level.<\/p>\n

He said the committees will begin its work on hotspots and conflict prone areas and extend the coverage to the entire county.<\/p>\n
