Officials from Turkana County in Kenya have appealed to Uganda authorities to stop the Karimojong pastoralists from burning bushes in an attempt to block Turkana herders from grazing animals in Karamoja sub-region.
The Turkana leaders raised their concerns on Wednesday during a higher-level cross-border meeting between the Turkana leaders and the Karamoja leaders held at Moroto District.
Mr Peter Letothoro, the deputy governor of Turkana County said the move by the Karimojong to burn grass as a way of denying their Turkana counterparts access to grass for their livestock was unfortunate.
