The three-billion-shilling barrier between Kenya and Somalia in Mandera County has been partially vandalised.
Locals say some residents from Bulla Hawa town pulled down sections of the barbed wire wall constructed by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) personnel.
The poles erected in the phase one project, which started from Border Point One in Mandera County and covered a 10-kilometre stretch are said to have been purloined and transported using donkey carts which were also used to ferry the barbed and the chain-link wire.
