Nairobi — Several people were on Sunday injured when two rival groups clashed over the controversial 28,000-acre South-Ngariama ranch in Kirinyaga District.
A man lost his tooth while another sustained serious lip injury during the incident.
Police had to move in fast to quell the fight, which disrupted business in the area as villagers abandoned their work to witness the drama.
Led by the area deputy police boss Patrick Oduma, the officers lobbed teargas canisters at the violent groups, forcing them to disperse.
A man was arrested and locked up at Kerugoya Police Station for interrogation over the fight.
