Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu will lead a team to find a solution following years of constant clashes between communities in the North region.
Governor Ngilu together with MPs from the region are expected to tour conflict-prone Garissa, Isiolo, Kitui, and Tana River counties to identify the root of and remedy for clashes.
Ms Ngilu said that leaders in the region should promote peace and co-existence between communities and clans.
The governor also called for erection of marked physical boundary between Kitui and Tana River counties to ensure perennial clashes between communities in the two area end.
She said that she would liaise with Tana River governor to identify the boundaries in a bid to end the clashes over water and pasture.
The governor further said that the communities in the region should end the long years of fighting which has negatively affected them adding that lives and property worth millions of shillings has been lost and many residents displaced due to the clashes.
“We need to work together with leaders from the nomadic communities to deal with underlying issues that trigger clashes,” said governor Ngilu.
MPs, led by Teso North’s Oku Kaunya, said the committee will tour the region in a bid to end clan based conflicts adding that there is need to evaluate the effectiveness of peace building initiatives and the role of county security and peace committees in affected areas.
“We intend to establish the cohesion status of the communities along the borders of the four counties,” said Mr Kaunyi.
