Busia Governor Paul Otuoma has defended ongoing security operations against the outlawed "Jobless" gang in Busia County while calling for an independent investigation into the death of a civilian during the latest crackdown.
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the governor expressed condolences to the family of Laura Wesonga, who died during a security operation in Marachi Estate, Busia Town, on Monday evening.
He described the incident as heartbreaking and urged investigators to establish the full circumstances surrounding her death without delay.
