State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu has confirmed the shooting dead of an intruder at the State House by GSU personnel last Sunday.

Esipisu added that the unidentified man was shot dead near the perimeter fence but far from the main buildings at State House.

“[The incident] is being handled by security apparatus,” he said on Sunday during the weekly briefing at the Eldoret State Lodge.
