The authorities have disclosed the identities of the seven people killed by bandits at Kwa Kamari Saturday, as Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka issued a press statement condemning the attacks. They included Nicholas Muthui Syengo, Damaris Matei Mbila, Tito Munyoki Muthui, Syengo Muthui, Kilonzi Kauni and Mulandi Kauni. Tseikuru Deputy County Commissioner Anetta Mwangi has confirmed the list as authentic.
As leaders across Ukambani struggle to make sense of the loss of innocent lives in Kwa Kamari Trading Centre, Tseikuru Sub-county, President William Ruto-led government tasked to protect Kenyans has show little progress 24 hours after the brazen attacks. Wiper Patriotic Front's Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka described the deaths as the highest number ever witnessed in the region over the last 40 years.

The former Vice President laid the blame of unchecked banditry on the hands of the Kenya Kwanza administration. "Four decades have passed without carnage of this scale in Tseikuru until yesterday, under the watch of President William Samoei Ruto. I demand answers, and I demand them now", he said in a press statement.
The assailants reportedly stormed the remote trading centre in two unmarked vehicles. As the Wiper leader concluded with an assertion that the government failed Kenyans on protecting them, he asked Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen to inform the country why armed pastoralists roamed Kitui County carrying AK-47 rifles attacking the people of Tseikuru who were unarmed.
Hon Dr Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka called upon the Inspector General of Police to immediately deploy adequate security in the tense region. He also said investigations should be carrier out in order to punish the perpetrators of these horrendous butchering of innocent Kenyans.
The Wiper leader's call to action over the beastly cut down of seven innocent lives was echoed by other leaders across Ukambani. Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua passed his condolences to families who lost their loved ones in the attacks. He charged, " How many more of our people must die in the hands of bandits before CS Murkomen takes decisive action?"
