Rift Valley Regional Coordinator George Natembeya has banned grazing at Logoman forest bordering Narok and Nakuru counties in a bid to end cattle rustling.

Natembeya, who was speaking during a peace meeting held at Likia, blamed the use of the forest for the clash between two communities in the area.

The administrator urged the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to summon over 20 people from the two communities over their role in recent deadly skirmishes.

He said the 20 people should also present themselves to DCI offices in Narok and Nakuru County offices.

Further, Natembeya directed Narok and Nakuru County Commissioners to form a committee comprising elders from both communities to resolve disputes between the two ethnic groups.

Following the recent clashes, elected leaders in the two counties had to step in to placate the warring parties.

Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui, Njoro MP  Charity Gathambi and Narok North MP Moitalel Kenta called for a truce between the two communities, urging the residents to avoid being incited by politicians.
