Tension is high in Embobut in Elgeyo-Marakwet county, after one person died and another seriously injured, during a violent confrontation between Kenya Forest Service officers and members of the Sengwer community. The locals are said to have resisted forceful eviction from the forest. Human rights watch groups have collectively condemned the violence, and are demanding a 60 day restraint between the Sengwer Community and security agencies, in order to carry out investigations into the killing. Seth Olale with the details.
