Interior and Nation Administration Cabinet Secretary (CS) on Wednesday, May 17 visited National Police Reservist officer injured by bandits recently.

Stephen Murijo is admitted at Nanyuki Cottage Hospital where he is receiving specialised medical care.

“He was critically injured by bandits early in the week during an operation by the multi-agency security team pursuing armed criminals who had stolen 75 heads of cattle from Enasoit Ranch that were all recovered.
