Tension is high at Pimbinyet in Narok County after more than ten houses were torched in clashes between two communities.
The fighting started after youths from both communities disagreed over the use of River Mogor.
“They prevented our cattle from drinking water at the river. This clearly agitated us and we decided to fight back because this is our right,” said a resident who did not want to be identified.
Confirming the clashes, Transmara East OCPD Ambrose Hongo, said police are in top gear to nail perpetrators.
"It was round 9pm and 11pm when unknown assailants torched eight houses in Transmara East and two in Transmara West. We were called, we rushed there and we restored the situation. The situation is now calm and we are hunting down the arsonists," said Hongo.
