Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen promises the government will keep fighting bandits after they killed Catholic priest Fr. Alloys Cheruiyot Bett. The priest died in Kerio Valley during a brutal attack. Murkomen visited the priest's family in Cheplasgei Village to offer support. He said security forces will work harder until they catch every criminal. The government refuses to give up its mission to stop these dangerous groups.

Fr. Bett worked as a peace leader and helped his community fight against banditry. The bandits killed him in Tot on Thursday because he spoke against their crimes. They murdered two other people named Bonface Ongote and Simon Njaga, recently. These killings show bandits have changed their methods to scare local people. They attack innocent civilians when they cannot steal livestock anymore.

Security operations have made bandit groups much weaker over the past two years. Crime reports show banditry dropped by more than half during the last five months compared to earlier periods. Most of the Kerio Valley region stays peaceful except for a few trouble spots. Murkomen attended the visit with Governor Stephen Sang and other government officials. The priest served at St. Matthias Mulumba Tot Parish and helped many families.
