Kajiado Governor Joseph ole Lenku lashed out at Tanzanian President John Magufuli over his handling of cross-border issues.According to Lenku, Magufuli’s way of handling issues was shameful.This is after Tanzanian authorities auctioned livestock belonging to Kenyan herders who had crossed into the country."This is indeed shameful for a leader of his stature to auction our livestock and yet we have hundreds of Tanzanian livestock grazing in our country.""Why is he creating a wedge between our Maasai communities living in Tanzania and Kenya?" Lenku asked during an interview at his office on Tuesday.Lenku said that while Kenya has continued to preach peace, Magufuli is "busy demolishing bridges for unknown gains".This was after Magufuli on Tuesday insisted that his government will confiscate all livestock trespassing into the country.
