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?

I wonder too

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.

munene was at syokimau no one has briefed him that so many of his hard working mboys are no more.sad to have such a president who doesn't give a damn.

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.
