Residents of Todonyang, Turkana County, have expressed frustration after a high-level government delegation visited the area following a deadly attack, but left without an effort to recover bodies of those killed and search for missing persons.
A team led by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, East African Community (EAC) Cabinet Secretary, Turkana Senator James Lomenen, the Regional Police Commander and the County Commissioner toured the region on Sunday.
Families say they had hoped the visit would lead to action, but no official recovery operation has been initiated. "We were hopeful when we saw the government delegation.
We thought they had come up with a plan to help us recover the bodies and protect us, but they just left after giving usual promises," said Esther Napeyok, whose husband is missing.
