AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Landowners around Lake Naivasha have raised the alarm over increased cases of vandalism and robbery targeting submerged structures.<\/p>\n

Homeowners, hoteliers and flower farmers are counting losses as youth use the cover of darkness to vandalise the property almost daily.<\/p>\n

Residents of Kihoto estate, which has also been flooded due to a rise in water levels, have not been spared, with the organised gangs making away with doors and windows from the abandoned houses.Yesterday security officers toured the affected area, with L Naivasha Boat Owners Association offering boats for night patrols.<\/p>\n

Dominic Cunnigham, the Hippo Point proprietor, said the 30-man gang raided the facility, for the umpteenth time, on Tuesday night, and made away with more than 100m of power cable after threatening his security officers.\u201cOne of my security officers is admitted to hospital after he was attacked by this gang.<\/p>\n

This issue is now out of control and needs urgent action,\u201d he said.Peter Mehta, the Crayfish Hotel CEO, said his submerged house was also vandalised by youths on boats targeting abandoned property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey raided my houses and carted way windows, sinks and other effects before turning into nearby flower farms and also vandalising green houses and electrical equipment,\u201d he said.Lake Naivasha Boat Owners Association The chairman of David Kilo acknowledged that the vandalism cases were worrying. He attributed this to lack of patrols on Lake Naivasha. He said the association would offer three boats to assist security officers in their patrols.<\/p>\n

Naivasha Sub-county commissioner Mathioya Mbogo said the Hippo Point attack had been reported at Kongoni police station and was being investigated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
