Four MCAs have warned of conflict if the county government proceeds with plan to erect beacons to demarcate Mwea Settlement Scheme.

Makima ward rep Phillip Nzangi and his Mwea counterpart Harrison Mwaluko told the county assembly that tension was rising in the area after Government officials met village elders to plan the exercise.
