Residents of Katumba area of Nguni ward, Mwingi central have opposed the move by the Kitui county government to construct a police station in the area.
The station is among eight set to be constructed by the county government of Kitui together with the national government along the Kitui-Tana River border in a bid to curb banditry following clashes between camel herders and farmers.
Opposing the building of the station, a section of residents claimed the earmarked area is not in Kitui county.
“We did not request the government for the project,” one local said.
A meeting organised by Kitui and Tana River county commissioners on Thursday resolved to bring togetherleaders and locals from both counties and form a peace committee to resolve the boundary disputes to ensure safety.
