Last week's attack of Mutha ward by alleged camel herders left residents in yet another string of losses of their livelihoods. They say that perpetrators of these heinous crimes have not been apprehended yet.
Six houses were burned in Thangilani village which is in Musenge location, Kitui South. The victims are crying that the government is neither protecting them nor their property.
According to residents interviewed by MWINGI TIMES, the attackers burned homes, granaries and stole livestock. Two motorbikes were set ablaze. Ever since, they stay in bushes, deprived of their sources of income and living in sorry state.
Kamene Nzumbi, a mother who was paid KSh 10000 after her home was attacked by the said camel herders went missing. Her home was invaded again with fruit trees being destroyed.
It is this palpable fear that locals accuse the President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza government of laxity and without a plan to bring justice to them for their sufferings.
Kitui South MP Rachael Kaki Nyamai told owners of camels invading her constituency that they should take the animals away since they have caused enough anguish to residents. She added that camel herders commit other crimes including raping girls.
"Inside this area region, girls are being circumcised. Child marriage is happening. They are being driven away from Mutha town by first being employed as maids.
When you go there, you find it is a young girl of 14 years staying with a mzee of red beard."
MP Nyamai accused camel herders of plotting terror attacks in Kenya. We had not verified this by press time.
