Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on Monday came face-to-face with the harsh reality facing residents of conflict-prone Kerio Valley during a visit punctuated by more killings and cattle theft.   

Dr Matiang'i, who visited the area along the West Pokot-Elgeyo Marakwet counties, was dismayed over reports of rising cases of banditry, but even before he could settle to listen to the plight of the long-suffering residents, a person was killed a few kilometres away from where he was meeting local leaders.
