Suspected Pokot bandits raped two women and stole livestock during fresh attacks in Laikipia on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The women aged 17 and 22 were rushed to hospital.
One of the women was raped on Wednesday night, after the attackers stormed a security meeting and shot at people.
Witnesses said they paralyzed the meeting by shooting in the air, dispersing residents and security officers.
Area chief John Wamai said said all the animals in the village were stolen.
Following the incident, hundreds of residents blocked Nyahururu-Ol Ng’arua road for hours in protests against insecurity,
They accused security agencies deployed to the area of doing little to deal with herders who invaded property including private ranches.
Laikipia West MP Wachira Karani and area MCA Peter Thomi, who went to calm the protesters, urged the government to deal with the bandits mercilessly.
“These incidents are becoming too many. We want the government to start treating these bandits like armed bank robbers or any other criminals who steal and kill,” said Karani
County commissioner Onesmus Musyoki said security officers have managed to drive out most of the bandits.
