15 are too many!

Kwani what kind of an operation was this? Or did they disperse to comb the area? Were there survivors to tell what happened? Now who send regular police to do an army's job?

and to think they were only going to recover stolen cows no other mission was planned.kwani whats the price of a cow those sides if they are willing to kill over 50 uniformed men


Speaking of stolen cattle, I have never understood how over 1,000 heads of cattle can disappear in thin air and can't be traced with helicopters. I know North Eastern is vast but this is not a herd of Ferraris that they move at lightening speed. How do they do it?

BBI will solve it

I am sure as the cattle move they leave behind large tracts of urine and dung - unless those bandits clean the same as they move.

I think it comes down to priorities and the available police resources to follow up such cases, the resources are very constrained in those areas - and you can see what happens when they follow up and try to recover the cattle.

the areas are not high priority for us kenyans.

Its just too sad that we could loose such young and promising kenyans.As a former police officer,I can testify that it is indeed quite disheartening when one looses his colleagues in such a manner. we all know what ails our police service...even as we throw our comments,the buck stops with the government(parliament and head of state).When I was a rookie cop in the early 90s,I was posted to Wajir district.cases of cattle rustling were still as rampant as ever..hardly a month passed without us loosing police officers in situations such as suguta mar mar.Most of these raiders were ussually from neighbouring countries backed by some local allies.They were ussually heavily armed and moved in large number.For some reasons ,they were never bold enough to massacre officers at the level witnessed on saturday.The police still did not have resources however the cooperation with the military was perfect esp during gen mohamouds era.the military choppers-YYs were deployed rapidly in such situations.Therefore as we mourn our fallen brothers,let us force our govt into action.let them invest heavily in the police service the same way they have invested in infrastructure...because until the police are assured of their safety,have the necessary tools and are well paid,we ordinary civilans should not lie to ourselves that we are safe.

I said it before and am saying it now....Iteere should resign. The buck stops with him as the Commissioner(Commander) of the police force. you cannot lose 8 officers in Tana River and as if that is not enough...lose another 50(FIFTY) officers and continue yap yapping thus...
I will not take responsibility of the attack by resigning because the buck stops with the ground commanders who carried out the operation”, the police boss said.


This is a real flop mr Iteere
We suspect intelligence of the operation by the police leaked to the attackers”, said Iteere.

The buck stops with the ground commanders,seriously!but the whole police force falls under you.You are incharge,and therefore you have to take responsibilty.It's like a coach saying that the buck stops with the players.You are the police commissioner must set guidelines,rules or engagements and Standard Operating Procedures to be strictly enforced and followed.For example,there have to be a rule that such operations have only to be done with officers that are familiar with the terrain.That such operations have to be carried out with air support.That such operations have to be carried out with police/officers clad in bullet proof vesist and ballistic helmets.Iteere is the one that has to carry the cross.He can blame the ground commanders all he can,but the buck stops with him.What has he tried to do to improve the police?What reforms has he implemented?He had not tried to fight to his foot soldiers.Has ever asked the government to procure protection gears like bullet proof vests?Many life would have been saved.Or ask the governement to buy armoured vehicles to deal with such missions.
