Casualties As Fresh Chaos Erupts
The East African Standard (Nairobi)

Ten people have been hospitalised with bullet and arrow wounds in
renewed fighting at the troubled Borabu/Sotik border.
Armed raiders shot them on Thursday evening, only a day after
Nyanza PC, Mr Paul Olando, visited the area along with six local
MPs and called for an end to the violence.
Ensakia councillor, Mr Dennis Rosana, who rushed the injured to
hospitals, told North Mugirango MP, Mr Wilfred Ombui that the
assailants had guns. Ombui, who visited the Kisii District
Hospital to facilitate footing of the medical expenses of the
victims, accused the Government of laxity in dealing with the
clashes.
"How many people do the Government want killed for it to deploy
GSU personnel to contain the situation? How many houses does the
Government want burnt?" wondered the Kanu MP.
