The Secretary of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Mr Mutunga Nding’o, has condemned the gruesome killing of his grandmother, Madam Muunda Ngui, who was reportedly found dead inside her home in Mangelu, Kitui West, following an attack by unknown assailants.
Speaking exclusively to the media over the phone, Nding’o expressed shock and sorrow over the killing, describing the incident as disturbing and calling for urgent investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding her death.
Nding’o noted that the murder raises fresh concerns over the safety of elderly people in the area, observing that this is reportedly the second case involving the killing of an elderly person in the locality.
He appealed to security agencies to move swiftly, investigate the incident and ensure those responsible are arrested and brought to justice. He stressed that the perpetrators must not be allowed to continue terrorising innocent residents.
The KNUT official further urged the government to strengthen security in Kitui West and put in place measures to protect elderly residents, who are increasingly becoming vulnerable to attacks.
The killing of Madam Muunda Ngui has renewed calls for heightened vigilance and decisive government intervention to protect lives and restore a sense of security among families in the area.
