Marsabit County, located in Northern Kenya, has experienced ongoing conflict and tensions primarily due to ethnic rivalries, resource scarcity, and political disputes.
The region is home to diverse communities, including the Borana, Gabra, and Rendille, who have often clashed over grazing lands, water resources, and political representation.
Given the history of such conflicts, it’s not uncommon for local leaders to face hostility when residents feel their grievances are not being addressed or when they perceive that the leadership has failed to protect their interests.
This underlying tension could have contributed to the incident involving MP Joseph Kukuton’s vehicle being damaged.
