Ten people have been hospitalised with bullet and arrow wounds in renewed fighting at the troubled Borabu/Sotik border.

Armed raiders shot them on Thursday evening, only a day after Nyanza PC, Mr Paul Olando, visited the area along with six local MPs and called for an end to the violence.

Ensakia councillor, Mr Dennis Rosana, who rushed the injured to hospitals, told North Mugirango MP, Mr Wilfred Ombui that the assailants had guns. Ombui, who visited the Kisii District Hospital to facilitate footing of the medical expenses of the victims, accused the Government of laxity in dealing with the clashes.

"How many people do the Government want killed for it to deploy GSU personnel to contain the situation? How many houses does the Government want burnt?" wondered the Kanu MP.
