Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has been asked to resign following the increased insecurity in his backyard.
Residents of Nyabigege in South Mugirango on Monday claimed that Matiang’i has failed to boost security even at his home area.
"We don’t see the benefits Matiang’i has brought to the Gusii community after he was named the Interior Cabinet secretary.
"Insecurity in Nyabigege is at the peak with police officers at Nyachenge administration police post colluding with criminals to terrorize residents,” said a local Justine Onsombi.
The locals said a fortnight ago, 2 security guards were shot dead in the area and police in the area have failed to apprehend the culprits.
“Night security guards were shot dead by thugs and later a police uniform was recovered at the crime scene. We want the officers operating in the area be kicked out and Matiang’i be sent home,” noted William Riang’a.
The angry residents lit fires along Kisii-Migori road blocking the road for several hours.
Gucha police boss James Wambua asked members of the public to give detectives humble time to probe the matter before a detailed explanation will be given.
