Teachers in Kisii and Nyamira Counties have supported their body in calling upon their colleagues living in Mandera to be transferred to operate on safer grounds due to the high cases of insecurity in the area.
Addressing journalists at the KNUT offices in Kisii south branch while preparing to burry their colleague who died in Mandera, Charles Mokua, the KNUT branch secretary insisted that no way teachers will be left to die on the hands of merciless terrorists, only for the government to collect bodies instead of first saving persons trapped in the up north area.
“Its shocking that government rushes to collect dead bodies, goes slow to save victims when they are attacked and now ignores to evict persons who are living in fear at camps”, said Mokua, who promised to lead the teachers coming back home to safer places with the help of the government.
Former mayor Kisii municipality Samuel Omwando accuses the national assembly majority leader Adan Duale and his counter part Farah Maalim of lacking human heart, as they don’t know the grief that has got the families of the bereaved.
“Adan Duale can say whatever he wants to say but our people have died, Farah can laugh as much as he can for he understands the Quran, it hurts, I have lost my son who was a nurse in Mandera, God knows where our people’s fate lies,” he said with emotions.
Omwando urged the government to have the consultative forums with the religious leaders and solve the conflict that has seen Kenyans die in the hands of terrorists noting that security is paramount to all Kenyans and no leaders should play politics with it.
