Heavy security has been deployed in Loosuk, Samburu County, as investigations begin following the attack on the Director-General of Public Debt Management at the Treasury, Dr Haron Sirima's home.
According to reports, a notorious gang attacked the homestead of Sirima, who previously worked as the Deputy Governor for the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).
The gang members, who are believed to be cattle rustlers, are accused of storming the homestead on Thursday morning, cutting the electric fence, and making away with an unknown number of cattle.
The attackers are said to have stormed into the homestead, armed with guns, and started shooting in the air before they finally got away with the cattle.
