The County Security Committee in West Pokot has launched a vetting of all foreign nationals involved in the crime of cannibalism and harvesting organs in the country.

During the committee meeting on July 8, the police officer said that the vetting is to understand their intentions in Kapenguria, Makutano, Bendera, and other areas.

He added that the suspected nationals are from Burundi, Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda. "We respect the spirit of East African cooperation; we have free movement for our people; however, all suspects are from Uganda, and therefore, we're taking these stern measures to establish their stay here and the activities they are involved in," the officer said.
