Speaking at the county Headquarters the traders demanded for immediate removal of suspected officers.

Nicholas Kibet, a youth representative urged the commissioner to ensure that their is enough patrol in town especially at night at the business premises.

“We will come up with strategies to ensure that we pin them down, let us do a follow up and any officer found dealing with criminals we shall ensure that he or she faces the law,” said Omoding.
