Two people were killed and scores injured on Thursday, July 13, following a deadly border dispute between Kisumu and Kericho counties which was triggered by the ongoing anti-government protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The police stated that they are working to end the chaos and stop it from escalating. The region is volatile and erupts whenever there is a political upheaval in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents who were injured during the clashes were hospitalized in local facilities and were receiving treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are expecting that it will not be as bad as yesterday but we have enough police officers there and we will back them if need be\u201d he stated.In a statement, Kericho governor Erick Mutai claimed that the clashes were political putting the blame on Azimio allied politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

\u201cIt is regrettable that the various communities which have co-existed harmoniously as brothers and sisters have been politically incited to violence by political stalwarts associated with Azimio. It is sad that one life has been lost while 5 have been injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe condemn in the strongest terms the acts of anarchy and violence perpetrated on innocent business people especially those who come from communities not supporting demonstrations, \u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders allied to Azimio have claimed that the clashes have been sponsored by the government to puncture their mass action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kericho-Kisumu border issue has been a hot potato, threatening peace among communities who live along the boundary of the two counties every time there is a political crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kericho County residents bordering Kisumu have laid claim to some towns and centres, claiming the boundaries should be redrawn to return some towns and centres to Kericho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kericho has in the past laid claim to Sondu, which according to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is located in Kisumu County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other towns claimed by either Kericho or Nandi include Muhoroni, Chemelil, Kibos, Miwani, Koru and Kopere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
