Kanuni ward MCA Safari Ntalala on Sunday warned that the statements are likely to cause conflict. Residents from Tharaka-Nithi, whose parcels of land fall within Meru County, have been reluctant to have them demarcated by officers from Meru County. They have proposed that land officers from their county carry out the exercise. But the MCA said land officers have the same qualifications. Meru County ICT, Lands and Planning Chief Officer Martin Gikunda exuded confidence that the stalemate will soon be over.
