Taita Taveta governor Granton Samboja is being grilled by detectives at DCI Headquarters along Kiambu Road.
The county chief is being questioned over the conflict between the locals and camel herders that led to the killing of 20 camels and the death of a farmer.
“This is to inform the general public that the governor, being a law abiding citizen will honour the summons and will appear before DCI on Monday July 8 at 08.30. He calls upon leaders to continue fostering peace and harmony,” read a statement sent to Newsrooms by Director of Communications, Dennis Onsarigo.
