By RUTH MBULAMore by this AuthorTwo men were shot dead on Saturday evening as fighting between the Maasai and Kipsigis communities at Pimbinyiet in Trans Mara West heightened. Speaking on phone, Leboi Ole Munkei - Oronkai chief - confirmed the incident saying there has been fierce fighting between members of the two communities. "Guns [shots] have rented the air with members of the two communities exchanging fire," he said. He added that police officers were deployed to return calm in the area. Last month, the county commissioner Moffat Kangi gave a two-week amnesty to residents to surrender unregistered firearms.
