Construction of an electric fence along Marmanet Forest, which stalled mid last year, will resume after residents of villages in the outskirts of Nyahururu town finally endorsed its construction.
This follows last Sunday's incident where a sixty-five-year-old man was killed by an elephant.
Construction of the 20km fence stalled mid last year after a section of residents chased away surveyors who were marking its route, claiming they would lose their farms to the forest.
The residents okayed construction of the electric fence on Wednesday during public participation meetings held in areas where the fence will pass.
