A 26-year-old man in Mbouda reportedly decapitated his father for failing to satisfy his hunger. The dreadful incident happened on the evening of Sunday, March 17, 2024, in the Lahtet neighborhood in the Mbouda subdivision of the West Region.
According to close sources, the murderer whose name we got as Kenne Arrold had reached their family compound, demanding food to eat from his 70-year-old father who was unable to grant his his request. The man in reaction, with the help of a machete, slaughtered his father Mr Supawo Lucas in the presence of a child who was the only witness.
Many suspect he did that under the influence of hard drugs given that Arrold is well known as a notorious drug consumer.
Mr Supawo Lucas’s body was later discovered in a pool of blood and taken to the mortuary of the Montchio hospital. The aged man was a primary school bus driver in Mbouda town, he leaves behind a wife and many children.
The culprit on his part is being detained by security forces.

The Tunisian General Labour Confederation (CGTT) has announced that the Administrative Court has granted it the right to be represented on the National Council of Social Dialogue.
“The Administrative Court has decided to annul the term “the most representative” in paragraph 2 of article 2 of the government decree setting the number of members of the National Council of Social Dialogue at 35, “representing the most representative workers’ organisation”, the CGTT said in a statement.
The CGTT had filed a complaint with the Administrative Court in 2018 against the prime minister and the minister of social affairs, seeking the annulment of government decree number 676 of August 7, 2018 on the composition of the National Council of Social Dialogue.
It considered that the decree contained provisions contrary to the law and the fundamental rules governing trade union activity and relations between public authorities and trade union organisations.
“This government decree excluded the CGTT from the composition of
the National Council of Social Dialogue,” it added.
‘By annulling the second paragraph of article 2 of the government decree, the Administrative Court has upheld the principle of equality and trade union pluralism and given priority to objective standards of representativeness of trade union organisations without any exclusion,” the CGTT stressed.

The Government is set to expand the Immigration office in Bungoma South Sub-County, Bungoma County with a view of enabling the Department of Immigration to process and issue passports.
The Cabinet Secretary Interior and Administration Kithure Kindiki said that plans were underway to rehabilitate the office and post more Immigration officers, alongside providing adequate equipment for effective service delivery.
The CS regretted the frequent delays in the processing of passports and assured the residents that the government was making every effort to streamline the processing of passports to make it easier and faster for them to acquire the document.
Kindiki who was speaking at the Bungoma County Commissioner’s office after a visit to the Immigration Department Offices in Bungoma South and Lwakhakha today said the reforms would be done by June this year.
On security the CS noted that all strategies had been put in place to enhance the security of the country and said that all security agencies are on board
to achieve this goal to enable people to go on with their daily activities without fear of criminals.
He said the government has a nationwide security enforcement program to rid the country of narcotic drugs, illicit alcoholic drinks and substance abuse that he said was affecting many of the people.
Kindiki expressed concern at the fact that people in the productive age were no longer active as they spent a lot of time drinking and taking substances that were harmful to their health.
He said that the government would crack down on all people who were manufacturing these drinks and substances. ‘We have closed down many unlicensed establishments and destroyed the infrastructure of manufacturing unhealthy dangerous drinks’, he said.
The CS said that all police officers who had served in one station for more than three years would be transferred as a measure towards enhancing security of the country.
He asked all officers who were involved in the law enforcement space aimed at fighting drug and alcohol abuse
to stay away from businesses that can bring conflict of interest. ‘Any officer who runs a bar or any other outlet that sells alcohol must close it’, he said.
The CS said the government was working closely with security agents from the neighboring country to ensure that criminals do not cross on either side of the country.
He said the border point in Lwakhakha was being modernized to have good border trade between Kenya and Uganda and for the security of the people.
