Tensions continue to escalate in the Angata region along the Trans Mara West border in Narok County following a raid by unidentified individuals who damaged several acres of maize crops on a 15,000-acre tract of land on New Year’s Eve.
Local residents have denounced the incident, which is believed to be connected to ongoing border disputes and a worsening security situation in the area.
Reports indicate that this destructive act commenced on December 29, 2024, resulting in significant losses for the community.
In response, residents are urging the government to take swift action to improve security, which they attribute to the unresolved border conflicts.
Trans Mara South OCPD Bashir Ali has conveyed a sense of hope regarding the ongoing initiatives to engage with neighboring communities, following a series of consultative meetings involving security personnel from both Narok and Migori Counties.
Bashir also stated that the recent incident is currently under thorough investigation.
