Security agencies have dropped the ball, once again

State security agencies have dropped the ball. Again. And this time round, more than 60 Kenyans have been killed in the most barbaric of ways by cattle rustlers. Women, children, toddlers and the unborn were butchered.

True to script, the Interior minister has talked tough and ordered disarmament of Pokots, Turkanas and Samburus in the region. Senior police officers have flown to the valley of death, held security meetings and flown back to the city with a promise to act on insecurity.
