Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary (CS), Kipchumba Murkomen, has urged the communities, living in Kiango area at the border of Narok and Kisii counties, to foster peace in order to promote sustainable development.
Speaking during an inter-border meeting at Kiango, CS Murkomen said the intercommunity clashes witnessed in the area one week ago were unfortunate because the two communities have been existing peacefully in the recent past.
The clashes, which began after the theft of a cow, had left one person dead and several others nursing injuries after being shot with arrows. "I was saddened to hear that communities that have intermarried and conducted business together are now fighting among themselves," he said.
Murkomen pointed out that he had engaged with the local leaders in the region and agreed to work together to resolve the root causes of conflict on the border.
