An article in the Daily Nation reports that a local politician has been questioned in relation to the recent clashes in Gombela and Isiolo town.
Top Politician Linked to Isiolo Violence
"On Monday, local leaders and the provincial administration linked a fresh outbreak of violence in the area to politics. District Commissioner James Kamau said politicians were taking sides in the conflict and the government was investigating their activities."
The question becomes: What happens now? If politicians are removed from the equation (and one must question the involvement of MP Kuti in this) it does not alone solve the whole problem. Yes it is an important step removing the politics, but the tribes are still well equipped with guns, and land and water problems are increasing.
One can only wonder: Will Kenya one day face the challenge of what to do with pastoralists?
