Kenya Forest Service officers accused of stealing 12 cows in Molo

Residents of Sachangwan in Molo Sub County, Nakuru County, are calling on investigation departments and government leaders to help them get back their cattle that went missing at Koibatek Forest Station.

According to records obtained by the complainants from Molo Police Station, three herders were arrested and seventy-nine cows seized by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) officers for illegal grazing in the forest. After the court process, the herders were fined Ksh.150,000.
