Tiwi residents are fearful after an electrified fence was put up by a private developer at Mbela farm in Kwale county. The fence borders people’s homes and learning institution and residents say they fear for their lives. A court order to stop the eviction was later issued after residents sought protection from the government. Mwamtuku alleged the private developer has since then violated the court order and went further to fence the area enclosing the remaining villagers. “People are confused on how they will manoeuvre with all entrance points encircled by an electrified fence,” he said.
