Marsabit County Governor Ukur Yatani has accused security agents for sleeping in their job due to insecurity that has thrived in some parts of the region.
Yatani said that an armed militia group is operating in Shurr area and called for intervention by security organs.
He said that owing to the insecurity situation, Shurr area cannot be accessed by anybody, including himself and asked the County Commissioner Magu Mutindika to ensure his team was up to the task.
“It is sad that some parts of this county like Shurr cannot be accessed for the last two months as a public road has been blocked and is being manned on a 24 hours basis by militia yet the security team is just watching,” the governor told KNA.
He asked the security team within one week to repulse the ‘private army’ and restore normalcy or he would lead wananchi to access the area by force.
