Taxi owners and operators have pointed an accusing finger to security personnel over their colleagues missing regularly.
Speaking at closed door meeting held at a Kisii hotel, operators said that there have been a tendency by security personnel to go slow in investigating their colleagues disappearance and after they have gone into the streets they acts fast.
Joseph Ondari is general secretary for the Kisii taxi Sacco who attributes the disappearance and killings to the driver-customer trust that they normally have.
“My colleagues do not suspect any customer for we are in business. Things change when you get to know the other side of the customer and it becomes ridiculous.”
Ondari insists that security personnel have been blaming them over the betrayal motive between themselves that has seen their colleagues go missing never to come back or get their bodies.
He added, ”It is true that sometimes back we got one of our friend involved in the saga was arrested later released in unknown circumstances never to see him again since 2013 January.”
Kisii County police commandant Simon Kiragu urges the operators to be more vigilant when having a customer mostly those who travel far and mostly at night for most of those missing trails indicate that they either went to a far distance or they went missing with the car.
Kiragu also wants those involved in buying and selling of vehicles to make sure they complete and adhere to their mode of agreement because others engage themselves in some dubious deals that see them face each other in awkward manners by hijacks, killing and taking the vehicle.
