Residents of banditry prone Baringo North constituency are now appealing for humanitarian assistance after running out of supplies and foodstuffs due to the insecurity menace.
The residents asked both the national and county government as well as well-wishers to come to their aid through provision relief food and medical assistance.
Led by Richard Chepchomei, an elder, from Chemoe in Bartabwa Ward who spoke to KNA outside Baringo County Information Office in Kabarnet town on Tuesday, stated that the situation in areas bordering Tiaty constituency is dire following increased cases of banditry, cattle rustling and serous mosquito infestation.
Chepchomei mentioned areas like Ngaratuko, Kagir, Chemoe and Yatia whose roads are impassable unless with an escort of a police vehicle thereby making residents to flee the area to safer places.
