What you need to know:

  • Mr Akaranga claimed Maseno Township in May last year but toned down after the Francis ole Kaparo-led National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) warned it would prosecute any leader perpetuating hatred among Maseno locals.
  • Once the motion is approved, Mr Akaranga said, a petition will be sent to the National Assembly and the Senate seeking a boundary review to determine the exact location of the disputed Township.

Vihiga Governor Moses Akaranga has appointed his deputy to lead a 10-member taskforce to prepare a report on a border row pitting Kisumu County on the location of Maseno Township.

The Caleb Amaswache led taskforces is also mandated with drafting a motion on the disputed location for debate in the County Assembly.
