Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has accused politicians of funding and enriching themselves in North Rift and North Eastern through insecurity in the regions.
Murkomen was speaking at Kampi Samaki in Baringo County, where he held a meeting with over 200 local administration officials following the emergent trend of suspected bandits evolving into highway robbery.
The CS was accompanied by Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat and AP DIG Gilbert Masengeli, among other security officers from the Rift Valley region.
Murkomen questioned how places such as Silale in Tiaty hadn't developed, yet the area receives National Government Constituencies Development Funds(NG-CDF). "Insecurity is enriching those who want to be rich, to punish the poor in the marginalized area, that is the case in the North Rift regions and the North Eastern," he added.
