Police have summoned a section of Narok County leaders over yesterday’s chaos in the town in which two people were killed and several others wounded.

The leaders led by Senator Stephen ole Ntutu, MPs Moitalel Kenta (Narok North), Korei Lemein (Narok South), Patrick Ntutu (Narok West) and Johanna Ngeno (Emmurua Dikkirr) are required before CID headquarters this morning to answer various questions regarding the chaos.

The leaders led a group of protesters who sought to present governor Samuel Tunai with a petition detailing their grievances.

They are wanted for questioning over allegations of inciting residents to violence during the protest.

The Narok North OCPD Paul Letting and a General Service Unit (GSU) officer were among the injured.

About 500 police officers backed by a helicopter aerial surveillance from the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) were detailed to restrain protesters numbering about 10,000 from accessing the county government offices.
