Drought in parts of Kenya is prompting cattle herders searching for scarce grazing to drive cattle on to private farms and ranches. Photo ReutersA British man was shot dead in northern Kenya on Sunday at a private ranch in the Laikipia area, two of the man's neighbours said, and a legislator warned that local politicians were stoking violence as elections approach. He was shot dead after he went to inspect the remains of a friend's home that had been burnt down by herders a few days earlier, one of the neighbours told Reuters. We flew over the area to look for him ... the horse had been shot in the leg," the neighbour said. Workers had seen the body and confirmed that Voorspuy was dead, he said.
