If true, whoever ordered police to travel in a landcruiser at night seems quite naive.
In laikipia, they use this kind of vehicle every time they are responding to cattle rustling

The super black DP once said aachiwe Pokot adeal nao, acha tuone atafanya nini ama ni mdomo tu.

The solution of designating the bandits to a terrorist organisation and dealing with them the way we deal with terrorist will ensure that they are neutralised in 6 months.
Uko na mafwi kwa ubongo. Ushawahi jiuliza why since independence successive govta have never contemplated what you are suggesting?

Those pokotis have just invited a massacre to their people. There are lines you don't cross.
Something like this happened in 2017
6 officers were killed in a similar attack. What the army did was not documented, but many innocent died.
If the patriots never learnt a thing in 2017 that can only mean the military response failed. No?

Matiangi said they think those pokoti warriors are just "normal citizens who have taken cattle raiding too far". Personally I think there was politics in in this issue. Pokotis were known to be Pro-rao. People like kamket survived a UDA wave in a kalenjin land because of that. And that's why police and army officers were massacred again in LNC yet they did little about it.

A question is always asked why is it always the pokots who have a problem with all their neighbours, in all the directions? The only thing they respect is greater force that's why, they relaxed their raid during Daudi Tonje time as chief of staff in the 90's and michuki time, after he had a meeting with their leadership in Eldoret.

Seems the head honchos at OP and vigilance house are in concurrence with my summations.
Mango head, so cattle rustlers haven't been dealt with coz heads at OP and Vigilance haven't said they be dealt with? Care we bet one left ball each that nothing will come out of this stupid tweet?

You are the only person who pretends to be an expert in everything in this village, we are online persona's, just know that you are only cheating yourself and no one else.

I have seen this script earlier. They'll send army and GSU to those regions and the warriors have already fled. The ones who'll be left to bear the brunt will be innocent men, children and women. Hao nao watakapitia.
The formation of a company of SG officers to deal with the bandits is on the table. Believe me It won't be business as usual.
