The United Kingdom on Monday renewed its call on the Kenyan government to restore law and order in Laikipia County ranches and conservancies, a day after herders shot dead a rancher. Tristan Voorspuy’s killing on Sunday highlighted the escalation of a crisis that has been simmering for months. Most of the large ranches in the county are owned by Britons.
The British High Commission in Nairobi said the attacks by pastoralists from neighbouring Turkana and Samburu communities were worrying and urged Kenyan authorities to bring them to an immediate end.
