At 12 am, unknown people forced themselves into the compound and entered in my house where they asked me to surrender the money I sold for the day but luckily I didn't have any money. They stole my television, radio cassette, two cooking gases before they entered a neighbors house where they robbed him Sh20,000 among other valuables," said Nyasuguta.
The woman's husband Bernard Mogaka who was not at home during the incident condemned the incident and accused police officers for failing to beef up security in the area.
"Since Matiang'i become the Interior Cs crime has been on the rise in the Gusii region. Let him resign because he has failed to beef up security at his home. He is unfit to hold the big office while innocent residents are being terrorized by thugs who should be arrested and be prosecuted," said Mogaka.

Abdi said police patrols have been improved to ensure no criminal activities are ongoing in the region at night.
