They had better be careful how they handle this situation, I don't know if going in there and arresting the political leaders will bring about a amicable solution to their grievance's or an end to the problem. This Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku seems to have taken a strong opinion on this Turkana South MP without having had any direct discussions with him. Also Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has made the statement that he expects to see the drilling up and running by Tuesday and again they haven't even visited Turkana yet,,. Makes you wonder what it is they are so busy doing that it takes 5 days to get Turkana? These are probable the guys that should have been out there prior to the conflict!!
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku Wednesday said that initial investigations have established that the MP led a group of about 400 people who stormed Twiga I oil drilling camp in Turkana County and caused wanton destruction of property and looting.
“The government is also investigating allegations that the Turkana South MP has vested interest in tenders coming from Tullow Oil Company,” Mr Lenku said in a press statement.
“If this is found to be true, he will be charged in accordance with Chapter Six of the Constitution dealing with leadership and integrity and which prohibits leaders from misusing their communities to push for personal business agenda,” he added.
