A Member of County Assembly from Samburu and four chiefs are among seven people set to face trial in the case where 42 police officers were massacred in Baragoi.
Three years later since the 2012 Baragoi attack on a convoy of police officers, the hearing of the case is set to begin on July 8 before the High Court in Nakuru.
Lady Justice Maureen Odera has urged the State to be ready with all witnesses when the hearing begins marking it as the last chance for the prosecution to present its case, noting the case was old and that the accused persons had endured travelling constraints from the hardship area of Baragoi in Samburu.
The court order was made when the accused, Nachola Ward MCA Lawrence Lorunyei, chiefs Christopher Lokerach, Enoi Lesike, Amojong Loturo and Jeremiah Ekurao, reservist Loomira Looyen and ranger Ekai Loyee appeared for the mention of the case.
The hearing of the case has failed to kick off on four previous occasions.
In a report on the Daily Nation Principal State Counsel Joel Chirchir has confirmed that the State would be ready to present witnesses as well as evidence showing the accused were actively involved in the killings.
