She added that innocent and unarmed residents cannot live peacefully knowing armed intruders can strike any time.

Muvea said that Kitui County is not prepared to lose more lives. 

The senator said that creating a police reservist unit among the residents is the only way to ensure peace in the region.

She also accused the county government of failing to protect its citizens against bandit attacks.

The death toll from the attacks in the county stands at 25 this year alone, a situation that Kitui residents are not ready to see escalate further.
