The King of the Wailwana community in Tana River County Mzee Ramadhan Divai Babisani has resigned from his post citing health issues and internal conflicts within the community over his leadership. Babisani, who has been the leader of the community for 17 years said he was vacating office because of sickness. In March this year, the Wailwana community in Madogo ward clashed with other neighboring communities leading to the death of two people. While the main suspects were arrested and charged in law courts, the elders from the warring communities sat down and decided that the families of the deceased be paid Sh1 Million each as compensation. We had an extension of two months with the help of our area Deputy county commissioner and still we have done nothing,” Babisani said.
