After a van
transporting K.C.S.E exams to Kapedo secondary school was burnt down and a
vehicle belonging to a police inspector sprayed with bullets with bandits who
are believed to be from the neighboring Pokot County the road linking Kapedo
and Lokori is now impassable. The bandits are now camping at the road side
waiting to attack any vehicle that passes along the road.
Right now
the residents of the area are living with fear because the bandits have
surrounded the area disabling movement of people and goods in and out. Food
shortage is also threatening the hit the region if no action is taken in the
shortest time possible because food supply has been cut off.
In an
exclusive interview with Radio Akicha, Kapedo area M.C.A, Didmus Chagem, said
communication has also been affected but he still hopes exams will be airlifted
to enable candidates to carry on well.
Speaking also
to Radio Akicha, Kapedo secondary school principal, Daniel Namunwa, said there
is a police unit between Kapedo and Lokori but it cannot help because the
bandits attack in large numbers.
The
residents are now hoping the national government will come and rescue them from
the situation as soon as possible claiming that the government is being
ignorant.
