The president gave the directive when he sent a message of condolence and comfort to the family of Governor Jackson Mandago of Uasin Gishu County, whose brother was found dead in an unfinished house in Eldoret on Tuesday.
Uhuru noted that the rising cases of mysterious killings involving innocent Kenyans across the country were alarming and required urgent and decisive action from all law enforcement formations led by the National Police Service.
“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 ordered.
“Our law enforcement agencies should move with speed to bring these senseless killings to an end. Let us deploy all resources at our disposal to ensure the safety of Kenyans across the country,” he added.
The President’s call comes at a time when the country is dealing with several unexplained and gruesome murders and suicides.
“We cannot allow rogue elements in our midst to continue visiting violence on innocent Kenyans. The recent wave of killings in Matungu and other parts of the country are regrettable,” the Head of State stated as he urged the police to bring to book perpetrators of these heinous acts.
The Matungu attacks have seen over 21 people lose their lives leaving the area residents living in fear as police keep chasing suspects in a bid to bring them to book.
In other areas of the country, murders have been hitting the news headlines on a daily basis, from bandit attacks to love triangles and not forgetting marital woes.
