Tensions are high in Mikululo ranch on the border of Makueni and Kajiado counties after a group of youths killed a herder and injured five others Saturday. County Commissioner Mohammed Maalim said the youths raided at dawn, set huts on fire, and fled into the sprawling grassland leaving behind the 21-year-old man dead and the rest nursing injuries. "The attack happened around 4am on Saturday," Mr Maalim said, urging the Mikululo community against retaliation. He issued a permanent injunction restraining KWS from evicting Mikululo Ranching Company Limited and its members, families, servants and/or agents from the land. This move irked Masai herders who see the verdict as a bid to curtail their cattle from grazing freely in Mikulolo.
