A group of farmers from Okakarara Constituency is demanding that the Magistrate's Court stop granting bail to stock theft suspects.

The farmers, under the banner of the Okakarara Residents Association Fighting for Development, claim repeat offenders set free on bail continue with the same criminal activities.

The fed-up farmers held a demonstration on Monday in front of the Okakarara Magistrate's Court, where the spokesperson, Mbimbi Kambaekua, said they are losing livestock to rustlers every other week.
