Commissioners Sam Kona and Philip Okundi met the county security team in Kakamega, led by county commissioner Pauline Dola for a briefing on what had triggered confrontations between the Kalenjin and Luhya communities last month.
A meeting held by security teams from Nandi and Kakamega county accused politicians from both sides of fuelling the simmering tension which has gripped communities along the border of the two devolved units.
The politicians were on the spot for derailing the peace efforts for the Kalenjin and Luyha communities living in the cosmopolitan area along the border of the two counties, sparking animosity and confrontations for years over land disputes.
Commissioner Kona said: "We have talked to the county security teams and been briefed on what is triggering the confrontations, leading to fights between the neighbouring communities along the border.
Mr Olaka said there was an incident last year where some people from Kakamega side who slashed maize on the land under dispute and agreement was reached of compensation, however, some politicians have been telling their people not to accept creating bad blood among the two communities.
