Taita Taveta County security committee has been accused of taking sides in the operation to flush out illegal herders.

Governor John Mruttu took issue with the committee yesterday, accusing it of failing to implement some provisions in the Livestock Animal Diseases Act 2012, which would help get rid of illegal grazers in the county.
