According to George Rabut, who is a victim from Gangu, Nyalaji, I have been notified that five of my cows were stolen on Saturday.
They wondered why the theft of their animals has increased ahead of the festive season.
The residents said that in the past few days they have been spending their nights awake so as to guard their animals from being stolen.
Some of the locals claimed that they were forced to keep their goats and cows in their main houses in fear of being taken away by a group of goons who have been terrorising the villagers.
The residents said that despite having made numerous reports at Siaya police station, a report dismissed by the OCS.
Rabut said they have had enough and asked the police to hasten investigations and bring to book the culprits.
“I have noticed that the police officers at Siaya police stations have not been backing up the chief and assistant chief, and that gap has made it very hard for the administrators to follow up on such cases,” he said.
Rabut said locals cannot continue to lose their livestock and asked the police to handle the matter once and for all.
