On September 27, 2019, a fact-finding mission led by Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations' George Kinoti, and the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji toured Enyali sub-county in Kitui County.
Contrary to social media claims, the mission found no evidence of permanent residences being destroyed or camels being killed in the area.
The mission established that following an inter-county security meeting, herders who had illegally invaded Kitui were asked to leave after adequate notice to calm rising tension between the two communities.
According to the mission, this was done in an orderly and friendly manner.
During the tour, the mission further found that there is no inter-community animosity or conflict, and no camel had been shot or killed.
The two communities were found to coexist peacefully.
The mission directed that investigations be carried out to establish if there were people who may have incited the two communities against each other.
