Kibera's Sarangombe Member of County Assembly (MCA) Lawrence Otieno has condemned the brutal murder of Sharon Otieno, a second year Medial Student at Rongo University.
The MCA says that the gruesome murder of the student is shocking and investigative agencies should hunt down the killers.
He said that cases of university girls being killed mysteriously are rising and the government should act immediately.
“It is worrying that young university girls are being killed in the open with no action being taken against the perpetrators,” he said on Thursday.
The MCA asked the police to go after Otieno’s killers and render justice to the deceased family.
“We are watching and this time round we will demand for justice to the varsity student and others who have fallen in a similar manner at all costs,” he said.
The MCA accused the police of doing shoddy investigations on many murder cases that are yet to be resolved.
“The country has witnessed mysterious murder of university girls in the recent years but we have never seen the perpetrators being arrested and taken to court,” he said.
Ms Otieno’s body was discovered on Tuesday, days after she was abducted.
The Medical student was abducted along with Nation reporter Bararck Oduor.
The reporter managed to escape.
Otieno’s family has now linked Migori governor Okoth Obado to the murder.The governor has however dismissed claims of orchestrating the student’s murder.
On Tuesday police arrested Obado’s Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo over the murder as the government vows to bring Otieno’s killers to book.
