A former councillor in Nyangusu, Kisii County has decried the rising insecurity in the area.
Former councillor Albert Manyange has now appealed to both the county and national governments to beef up security.
Speaking to HiviSasa.com in Nyangusu town on Monday, Manyange claimed that residents are living in fear of being attacked by a gang that has been terrorising and robbing them.
In the latest incident, a week ago, said Manyange, a motorist was killed and his motorbike stolen while another one escaped death narrowly when he was attacked at Nyangusu while transporting charcoal from Kilgoris to Magena.
“We have lost four people since January not due to illnesses, but in the hands of unknown goons who are terrorising us.”
He added, “We appeal to both the national and county governments to provide us with security by deploying more police to patrol the area at night. We also ask the police to conduct investigations and arrest all those engaging in crime in the area.”
