MP Pkosing slams CS Kindiki, accuses him of sidelining West Pokot in push for long-term peace

Pokot South Member of Parliament David Pkosing has asked interior Cabinet Secretary Prof. Kithure Kindiki to down his tool if he cannot tackle the insecurity issue along North Rift counties.

Kosing accuses CS Kindiki of sidelining West Pokot while working with its neighbouring counties in the process to find a lasting solution for the banditry menace in the region.

"Kama umeshindwa na mambo ya security, ambia Rais Ruto akutoe hapo akupeleke kwa Agriculture mwingine aje kwa security. Kwa sababu sisi tunaongea kama viongozi wa Pokot lakini hatusikizwi.

"Kindiki ameenda Marakwet, Turkana, Baringo, Laikipia na Samburu lakini amekata kukuja Pokot kusikiza malalamishi ya wananchi. Ni kama ameamua sisi ni criminals," he said.

According to Kosing, CS Kindiki is not willing to join hands with leaders from West Pokot in order to find the lasting solution to insecurity.

This comes  is after approximately 300 cows from West pokot county were shot dead at the Pokot turkana border. West pokot governor Simon Kachapin has also asked Kindiki to what he termed as to stop sleeping on the job.
