Two people were killed in a fresh attack by bandits at Ng'aratuko village in Baringo North Sub-county on Saturday morning. Baringo county police commandant Peter Ndung'u said the security officers were pursuing the bandits. "We will intensify the hunt for bandits who have caused mayhem in the insecurity prone areas and have made life unbearable for their neighbours in Baringo North and Baringo South sub-counties. Mr Richard Chepchomei, resident of Ng'aratuko, accused security officers of doing little to stop the bandits. Due to the rampant banditry attacks in the cattle rustling-prone areas of Baringo North and South sub-counties, more than 25 primary schools in the region are yet to reopen.
