Dozens of families in Ang’ata Barikoi, Transmara, have been displaced following violent clashes that left over 30 homes destroyed and several residents injured, KANU chairman Gideon Moi has confirmed.
The incidents mark a continuation of unrest in the area, which has previously experienced deadly confrontations linked to land disputes.
In a statement on X, Moi described the recent violence as deeply troubling and called on all parties to refrain from further attacks.
“The path to a durable solution lies in dialogue, respect for the rule of law, and the use of peaceful community-driven measures,” he said.
He emphasized the need for local mediation, truth-telling, and agreed security arrangements to address ongoing tensions.
Ang’ata Barikoi, located in Narok County’s Transmara region, has a history of land-related conflicts that periodically flare into violence.
Previous clashes have claimed lives and heightened insecurity, particularly affecting children and other vulnerable residents.
Moi urged elders, local leaders, and stakeholders to convene inclusive talks to tackle the underlying grievances fueling the unrest.
The KANU chairman also highlighted the role of security agencies, stressing the importance of professional enforcement to protect lives while supporting a conducive environment for reconciliation and reparation.
He called for immediate humanitarian support for displaced families, many of whom are now without shelter or basic necessities.
Moi further appealed to authorities to fast-track impartial investigations to ensure accountability for the attacks.
“Perpetrators must be brought to justice, and durable solutions must be implemented to resolve the longstanding disputes over land and resources,” he said.
Residents in the affected area have reportedly been forced to relocate to safer locations, though precise figures on injuries or property loss have not yet been officially released.
Moi concluded by urging the community to embrace peace and collaborate toward lasting harmony and development in Ang’ata Barikoi.
