A warrant of arrest has been issued against a former Trans Mara South Deputy County Commissioner in Kilgoris for repeatedly failing to appear in court regarding a land dispute. The case involves alleged threats made to a family, including invoking Al-Shabaab militants to intimidate them over a contested 43-acre parcel of land.

• The former administrator is accused of threatening a family in May 2023 over land ownership, with a video circulating showing him allegedly threatening to use Al-Shabaab to evict them.
• Emmanuel Kuntai, a family member, stated the land dispute was initially a civil matter won legally by his family, and they have lived in fear due to the former DCC's evasion of court appearances.
• Cecilia Pulana, another family member, expressed gratitude to the Kilgoris court for the arrest warrant, alleging the former DCC continued to threaten them on the disputed land and police frustrated their attempts to report him due to his government official status.
