“We followed a tip-off from the businessman’s watchman that some people were using the unused farm as a hiding for their weapons,” said Antony Kipng’etich, a youth leader.
“We want our police officers to first take responsibility of their ineffectiveness because crime is on their rise due to their unresponsiveness,” he added.
Area MP Samuel Arama who addressed the demonstrators promised to get to the bottom of the matter by involving all relevant authorities.
“Let’s use dialogue to come up with a solution but I promise to personally intervene into the matter,” he said.
