Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo says the police may be forced to enforce the shoot to kill order in order to save lives and restore peace to parts of Baringo and Turkana following recent attacks by suspected Pokot raiders The issue of cattle rustling is not only devastating communities along the Baringo, West Pokot, Turkana or Samburu communities boundaries. We have small scale livestock thieves even in our big urban areas. My two neighbours at Kiamunyi estate - only 5km from Nakuru town center - have lost a total of 20 high quality herd of zero-grazed cows. All stolen from their well secured stone wall ringed compounds. The strange thing being that one home even has 4 german shepherd dogs - so fierce that they madly back at anything - and most of the times at nothing. Surprisingly the owners didnt know the cows had gone until they woke up in the morning ready to milk! That is a combined loss of over ksh 2 million assuming each cow was worth ksh100,000. This cattle rustling, in whichever form, must be stopped. It is pure robbery with violence being given another name ! Mandatory death sentence for such a crime is death by hanging!
