We need the support of residents. We are appealing to you to cooperate with police. The gang doesn't steal anything from victims, a fact that points to a bigger picture," Gicheha said.He spoke on Monday, following Sunday's stabbing of a woman in Kiambaa which was the latest case of stabbing after a man died of knife wounds in a local hospital.Edward Ndung'u was stabbed by unknown assailants on Friday last week, outside his home in Kabutu village, Muchatha.Nyumba Kumi Initiative chairman Joseph Kaguthi, who toured the area at the same time asked for the reconstitution of clusters for effectiveness.There are 526 Nyumba Kumi clusters in Kiambaa.
