Kenyans on social media have expressed anger and deep sadness after reports emerged from Bungoma County about a man identified as Omundu. Many people have strongly condemned the authorities for what they see as a failure to take action.
According to the reports, the man is accused of killing a woman and her young daughter in a very cruel and painful way, yet justice has not been served.
It is alleged that the man locked the woman and her child inside their house before pouring petrol around it. He then set the house on fire in full view of people who were nearby.
Witnesses claim that the incident happened openly, leaving many shocked and helpless as they watched the fire burn.
Sadly, the woman and her daughter lost their lives in the fire without any chance to escape. What has angered many Kenyans even more is the claim that the suspect was arrested but released after only a short time, reportedly about 15 minutes later.
This has raised serious questions about how such a serious case was handled.
Some residents in Bungoma have also come forward, saying they received threats from the suspect when they tried to speak out or offer witness statements.
Others claim that even in court, there seems to be little progress, and the case is not being given the attention it deserves.
Many Kenyans are now asking how the authorities could fail to act in such a serious matter. They are calling for justice for the victims and demanding that those responsible be held accountable.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about safety, justice, and the role of authorities in protecting citizens.
