Some Taita Taveta leaders led by Lands executive Mwandawiro Mghanga demolished a signboard at Tsavo River hours after a Makueni MCAs installed it to mark the disputed border. Taita Taveta leaders argue that the border between the two counties is in Mtito Andei, therefore, part of the town is Taita Taveta’s territory. Last week, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr warned Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja to halt the anticipated revenue collection and instead, talk with his Makueni counterpart Kivutha Kibwana. This is not the first time Taita Taveta leaders are demolishing a signpost at the area. In August 2014, Taita Taveta MCAs led by Speaker Meshack Maghanga uprooted a signpost that had been erected by the Makueni government.
