[Robert Menza, Standard]Tension is simmering among communities living in Tana River County after a farmer was hacked to death by herders at Galma village in Sera location within the expansive Tana Delta sub-county. The farmer's body was discovered on his farm after being attacked by herders who had invaded his farm to graze their cattle. Coast regional commissioner John Elungata asked residents to provide information on those fueling trouble in the delta region. The administrator, who was accompanied by Coast region police boss Paul Ndambuki and senior security officers from Tana River County, blamed the frequent conflict on lack of respect between crop farmers and pastoralists and called for a lasting solution.
