According to Mr. Lokiru, trouble started when the bandits shot and killed a General Service Unit operation commander Emadau Tebakol.
The Turkana East legislator says the trio had gone to mourn with families that were affected after bandits attacked their homes in Tiaty killed people, cattle and torched houses.
They also met with local administration leaders on how to improve security and get children to go to school.
Moments later commander Temakol, who had attended the meeting was attacked and killed by the bandits at the Ameyan bridge.
“We have spent the last 12 hours under the tables and beds as the bandits have been shooting and we are fearing for our lives,” says MP Lokiru. “The bandits know we are here and we cannot go anywhere.”
