Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and his Nyeri counterpart, Mutahi Kahiga have called for a sobriety in the ongoing  spat between Kamba and Kikuyu communities.

Addressing a joint press conference at the governor’s office in Machakos on Wednesday, the two leaders said both utterances and actions by some members of Kamba and Kikuyu communities were despicable and contrary to law and order which are the hallmarks of a civilised society.
