Kenya government officials failed to turn up for a joint meeting with their Tarime district counterparts on Tuesday.

The meeting was slated for the Tanzania side of the border, according to Mara regional police commander David Saibul.

"We drove to the set venue but our colleagues but our colleagues did not appear," said the police chief.

Tarime district commissioner Stanley Kolimba was also among leaders who failed to attend the meeting.

"We were later informed by the phone that they could not come because the Trans Mara DC was touring his district. We will be going there again to today to see whether they will come," the RPC told The Citizen yesterday afternoon over the phone.

The meeting follows the recent incident in which people believed to be Kenyan policemen crossed the border and gunned down a pregnant woman and injured her husband at Kegonga village on the Tanzanian side.

Kegonga villagers armed with traditional weapons battled the Kenyan raiders and managed to recover a police uniform and 20 unused bullets.

"We were to discuss why the Kenyan armed cops entered our country in defiance of laid down procedures," Mr Saibul hinted.

Cattle rusting on both sides of the border have been cited as the cause of insecurity in the villages situated across the border between the two East African countries for years.
