The Baragoi Massacre Dilemma Thickens

Could the Baragoi massacre have been politically instigated? And could the top command of the police force in Rift Valley have been arm-twisted by nominated MP Maison Leshomo to dispatch a security contingent to pursue armed cattle raiders, without adequate intelligence? The Turkana professionals association, led by lawyer Dr. Ekuru Aukot has warned the government against what it terms 'collective punishment' of the community, in pursuit of the cattle rustlers who killed over 30 police officers last Saturday. But as Francis Gachuri reports, the nominated MP has denied any wrong doing, and cautioned the Turkana professionals against politicizing the conflict.
