The government should establish a military camp at Angata Barakoi in Trans Mara, Narok County, to check renewed clashes in the area that have left one more person dead, Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ngeno has said.
Ngeno, who spoke on Tuesday, May 13, noted that KDF deployment would be necessary, especially because the clashes occurred along the Kenya-Tanzania border. "After all, the work of the army is to protect our borders," the MP said.
The MP said that despite the presence of police officers in the region, the security situation continues to get worse. "What is needed is the capacity of the KDF to handle cross-border skirmishes." "We are requesting the President (William Ruto) to establish a KDF camp here in Angata on the border between Kenya and Tanzania," Ngeno said.
