Former Antubetwe Kiongo ward MCA George Kaliunga has been killed in a banditry attack in Meru county.

The MCA was allegedly killed by bandits believed to be from neighbouring Isiolo county as he went after his stolen livestock.

He was pronounced dead on arrival at Maua Hospital on Sunday evening after he was shot in the chest.

Kaliunga had accompanied police officers who went after his stolen livestock in the ward in the Igembe South constituency.

The former MCA was shot at Kinna, Isiolo county, when he was in the company of Meru police officers.

They were following up on his 71 stolen goats.

Mutuati police boss William Letting said the goats had been stolen from at Malaene.

“We were ambushed as we pursued them using their footprints. Kaliunga was shot because he was in front of us,” he said.

The police boss said the bandits took off after a brief exchange as they rushed the former MCA to the hospital.

Igembe North MP Julius Taitumu condoled with the family.

Taitumu said the death of Kaliunga has touched so many people and shown how the cases of insecurity and cattle rustling had increased in Meru.

“Let Interior CS Kithure Kindiki know that we are not comfortable or happy with what is happening, especially in Igembe North constituency,” Taitumu said.

This comes barely a week after two herders were shot dead and another critically injured in Mutuati, Igembe North constituency.

A Meru county government ranger was also shot dead as he pursued cattle rustlers in Isiolo.
