NDOROBO COMMUNITY ELDERS RAISE ALARM OVER INSECURITY IN ISIOLO

Elders from the Ndorobo community have raised concerns over what they describe as a rise in insecurity in parts of Burat Ward, Isiolo County.

The elders accused some leaders from the neighbouring Turkana community of failing to address criminal activities allegedly carried out in their areas. They claimed that the incidents have created fear and tension among residents.

Chapara Taraya cited several alleged incidents in which members of the Ndorobo community were attacked and livestock stolen. He also claimed that police officers had on some occasions intervened to prevent planned attacks, which he attributed to individuals from the neighbouring Turkana community.

The residents called on the government to intervene and ensure that security measures are applied fairly to all communities. They urged authorities to investigate the reported incidents and take appropriate action against those found responsible.

Naiyeno Senteri accused local leaders of failing to adequately support the community when residents face insecurity-related challenges.

Meanwhile, Diwani Parkusa accused some Turkana youth of allegedly barricading roads, claiming that the actions had prevented residents from accessing essential services, including hospitals and markets.

Parkusa urged residents to respect the rights of all communities living in the area, stressing that the region belongs to all its residents and should remain accessible to everyone.

The elders appealed to security agencies and local leaders to work together to restore peace and prevent further escalation of tensions between the communities.
