Reversed roles as bandits turn heat on cops

In the aftermath of the Kapedo massacre where 21 police officers were murdered by Pokot raiders, an officer who survived the attack made comments that raised serious questions about the quality of police training.

“We had just finished securing the burnt vehicle to our lorry so that we could tow it when we were ambushed by the bandits who had surrounded us without our knowledge,”  Eric Mugendi tearfully told ours sister paper, The Standard.
“They sprayed us with bullets. There was nowhere to run and hide from the assailants’ bullets.”
