Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has given hundreds of herders from Isiolo, Samburu and Baringo who have invaded private ranches in Laikipia County seven days to leave or they be forced out.

At the same time, Dr Matiang’i has said security forces will take over the 8,000-acre Kilimoni Farm to act as a buffer zone to keep off the herders, who he described as a source of insecurity.
