Cattle Raiders

    Cattle have been very frequent especially in the southern parts of Nyanza.The raiders who mainly come from Tanzania are usually armed and by that the overpower the cattle owners who usually have no weapons to use to fight back.
     Recently there was a gang of raiders who stole cattle in villages near Sondu river and got into violent wars with the villagers9resident of Sondu).Those got involved in the fights/battles had severe injuries but fortunately none lost their lives.
        Attempt by the administrative police to get up with the gang were fruitless as the made their way into thick bushes during dawn and could not be pursued by the policemen.There are serious risks and the government and other organization should help save the resudents.
