More than 30 families who had fled their homes recently in Matigari village, Mutara location in Laikipia County, due to tribal clashes have been urged to return and rebuild their lives.
Laikipia County Commissioner Onesmus Kyatha speaking at a public baraza in Matigari Primary and Junior School to address the dispute between a section of the Samburu and Turkana communities in the area, assured residents that peace had been restored. "We have been able to hold a dialogue between the two conflicting communities.
Our agreement is that children resume their studies and the government will ensure they are protected," said Kyatha.
Kyatha said that the school will be under police surveillance to ensure learning continues smoothly and interrupted and at the same time said that stolen cattle would be recovered.
