According to police reports, cattle rustlers raided the area, killing four people and injuring three others.
The incident has once again highlighted the ongoing insecurity challenges in parts of northern Kenya, where communities continue to face threats from armed groups.
Sifuna appeared to link the two situations, pointing out the contrast between the heavy police presence in Karen and the lack of enough security in areas like Marsabit.
He questioned whether resources are being distributed fairly, especially when lives are being lost in remote regions.
The attack in Marsabit has left families in mourning and residents living in fear.
Local leaders have called for urgent action from the government, asking for more officers to be deployed in the region to prevent further violence.
Cases of cattle rustling have been a long-standing issue in the area, often leading to loss of life and destruction of property.
On the other hand, the situation at Tuju’s residence has continued to attract attention, especially with claims and counterclaims about his whereabouts and security.
While authorities have not given a full explanation for the number of officers deployed there, the images and reports have fueled public debate.
Many Kenyans online have reacted to Sifuna’s comments, with some agreeing that security should first be focused on protecting communities under threat.
Others, however, have urged caution, saying there may be reasons for the deployment that are not yet public.
Security experts often note that police operations are guided by intelligence and specific needs, which may not always be visible to the public.
Even so, the concern raised by Sifuna touches on a broader issue of trust and fairness in how national resources are used.
