Anyone found inciting residents at the Molo-Njoro border will face the full force of the law, a senior county official has said.
During a crisis meeting with the warring communities on Wednesday after several houses were torched on Tuesday night, Njoro sub-county deputy commissioner Paul Kinyanjui said the government will not relent in its efforts of pushing for peace, further calling for patience as police take up the matter.
"Whether you have connections or not, whether senior or junior; we will come for you because incitement is punishable by law and we will not sit back and watch our people fight as a result of being incited," he said.
Kinyanjui led a high profile sub-county security team from Njoro and Molo sub-counties in a bid to formulate a lasting solution to avert border clashes that have been witnessed in the area.
It is alleged that tension remained high in the area from Saturday after Ogiek and Kipsigis herders clashed over a grazing land that has been in contention over the years.
More than five houses were torched and property destroyed in the Wednesday morning attack.
No major injury was reported but police have been deployed at the border with tension still high.
