Mwingi North Member of Parliament Hon. Irene Kasalu has launched a scathing attack on the national government following a fresh deadly attack in Itimba Ithei, Tseikuru, which has reportedly claimed two more lives.
In a strongly worded statement, Kasalu accused senior government officials of failing to protect residents and demanded the immediate resignation of Cabinet Secretaries Aden Duale and Kipchumba Murkomen, saying they have demonstrated an inability to guarantee the safety of Kenyans.
“You have proven utterly incapable of handling your office and protecting Kenyan lives. It is time to resign and go home. Shame on you,” Kasalu said.
The legislator expressed outrage that the latest killings come barely a month after eight people were brutally murdered at Kwa Kamari in Tseikuru, with residents still waiting for justice and accountability.
“Today, my heart breaks as an ongoing attack in Itimba Ithei, Tseikuru, has claimed two more innocent lives in Mwingi North. Just a month ago, eight of our people were brutally murdered at Kwa Kamari, Tseikuru, and absolutely nothing has been done. No justice has been served,” she lamented.
Kasalu further challenged President William Ruto over what she described as the government’s failure to decisively deal with the perpetrators of the attacks, questioning why residents continue to suffer repeated insecurity incidents.
The MP called for urgent deployment of security personnel, swift investigations into the killings, and the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
She warned that residents of Mwingi North are growing increasingly frustrated and fearful as recurring attacks continue to claim innocent lives without meaningful intervention from security agencies.
“We demand immediate security and accountability for the people of Mwingi North. The lives of our people matter, and the government must act now before more innocent blood is shed,” she stated.
Kasalu urged the national government to treat the situation in Tseikuru as a matter of national concern and to prioritize the protection of vulnerable communities affected by recurring violence.
