President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed law enforcement agencies to tame rising cases of cold blood killings in the country.
According to the President’s press unit, President Kenyatta gave the directive when he sent a message of condolence and comfort to the family of Governor Jackson Mandagor of Uasin Gishu County whose brother was found dead in an unfinished house in Eldoret on Tuesday.
“We have to get to the bottom of these murders. We can’t have a situation where we are confronted with cases of killings every single day. This is unacceptable,” the President said.
