New Central Regional Coordinator Wilfred Nyagwanga has attributed the rising cases of murder and suicide that have rocked the region to family conflicts and property rows.
Mr Nyagwanga, who met county security committees and chiefs on Wednesday, directed all chiefs to initiate a campaign to mitigate the deaths by urging locals to subdivide and share out their property in good time.
He said most cases are affecting the elderly who are over 70 years of age, saying that investigations have revealed they are killed or hanged and the incidents made to look like they committed suicide.
The regional boss instructed the chiefs to change their attitude towards locals and improve on their communication, relationship and ability to solve disputes amongst locals so that they may open up and share with them their predicaments.
