Eight people were arraigned in court Monday afternoon over the Tana River clashes that claimed the lives of over 50 people on Wednesday last week. The 8, who include 3 area chiefs faced charges of murder, incitement, violence and disobedience. This, even as President Mwai Kibaki cautioned those intent on dividing Kenya along tribal lines.
