The North Rift region has witnessed several attacks in recent months with more than twenty people killed.

Baringo North Member of Parliament Joseph Mekilap now claims bandits are undefeatable in the North Rift because of black magic.

Speaking on Thursday, Mekilap called on the Ministry of Interior to eradicate black magic in the North Rift region for them to be successful in ending banditry.

The UDA MP noted that the bandits pass through the Oloibons before going to conduct raids adding that those who don’t practice the black magic die during the raids.

“There is a need for the government to invest in intelligence and be able to deal with elders that practice black magic. All the bandits that come from Tiaty pass through the Oloibons to get blessings those who do not pass through the Oloibons die in the raids,” Mekilap claimed.

The Baringo North MP also urged the government to go after North Rift leaders who allegedly wear black magic ornaments when going for security meetings.
