Fallen Police Officer Brian Kimutai Bett was Laid to Rest in Kapseret, Kenya

People from different parts of Kenya came to attend the funeral of police officer Brian Kimutai Bett. He got killed by bandits in Kakong, Turkana County, on February 11, 2023, 
Bett was part of a contingent of GSU officers on a rescue mission when they were ambushed by armed bandits, leaving Bett dead. 
He was at the Nakuomorok outpost in Turkana South. His father, Daniel Lagat, is an Inspector of Police and the Central Installation Protection Unit commander in West Pokot Central. Despite losing his son, Lagat asked the National Police Service to consider employing one of his other children to replace him. Jeremiah Tumo, Baringo Central senior sub-county commissioner, who represented West Pokot County Commissioner Paul Okello, also spoke at the funeral, describing the deaths of four police officers between February 10 and 11 as painful. 
He revealed that over 300 bandits had encircled the officers in Kakong, and more officers were needed to rescue them and collect the bodies of the three killed. 
Bett was part of this rescue mission. Tumo mentioned that the bandits pointed their anger on security personnel following a purported killing of cattle belonging to West Pokot herders in adjacent Turkana. 
He described the exposure of security personnel to homicidal attackers whose targets are innocent locals and the police. Despite the challenging situation, Tumo expressed confidence that the ongoing operation to deploy the military to North Rift counties hit by banditry would restore order in the troubled area. The funeral was in Bett's home village of Kaptinga, Kapseret sub-county. Hundreds of mourners became a part of this emotional ceremony.
What has happened can't be changed, however; if any of the police officers present in that mission would have sensed this attack prior and could have pressed an alert to any Safety App like POTP, then might be this situation could have been under better control.
