"Our security officers have lost humanity. Even after killing the two, they went ahead to chop off their hands at the wrist. The bodies also appear to have been dragged on the ground. What justifies this kind of torture?" said Biwott.
Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Dr Abdi Hassan said that he was aware of the discovered bodies, which he said were under investigation.
"There is a very serious investigation going on. Whether it is connected to any other incident, it is premature for me to comment on that because the investigations are still on," said Dr Hassan.
An intense security operation has been going on in Elgeyo Marakwet County and other parts of the Kerio Valley region to weed out criminals engaging in banditry activities.
A special police unit is said to have been deployed to conduct targeted arrests, with the government confirming several arrests of people linked to banditry.
Following the rising insecurity, the Catholic Church closed down its missions, including Chesongoch Hospital, after non-local staff fled the area, claiming that they were being targeted and accused of being police informers in the ongoing crackdown.
