Sir, we hereby call for government’s, urgent and immediate, action to arm Sengwer indigenous peoples living along Cherangany hills with atleast 300 guns (100 guns each in West Pokot, Marakwet and Trans Nzoia) to enable the community fight against the increasing cattle rustling that has hit Talau (West Pokot), Kapolet (Trans Nzoia) and Rogorr (Marakwet). The community is getting concerned since there’s very little action taken by the government even after being provided with reliable intelligence reports.
