More than 2,000 families displaced by recent communal clashes in Transmara South, Narok County, have received government assistance following a visit by Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr John Olooltua.
The intervention comes amid ongoing efforts to restore calm and support communities affected by the violence.
The clashes, which erupted several weeks ago, forced thousands of residents to flee their homes after houses were burned and property destroyed.
Families sought refuge in nearby schools, churches and makeshift camps, creating an urgent humanitarian situation marked by shortages of food, shelter and basic supplies.
During his visit, PS Olooltua toured several displacement sites where he met affected families, local leaders and security officials.
He said the government was committed to ensuring the safety of residents while addressing the immediate needs of those displaced.
Trucks carrying food items, including maize flour, beans and cooking oil, as well as non food items such as blankets and tents, were dispatched to the affected areas.
The government is here to stand with you during this difficult time,” Olooltua said. “Our priority is to make sure that all displaced families receive assistance and that peace is restored so people can return to their homes safely.”

Local administrators reported that more than 2,000 households were affected by the clashes, with many families losing their livelihoods.
Schools in some areas were temporarily closed, and farming activities disrupted, raising concerns about longer term economic impact if stability is not quickly achieved.
Security agencies have since increased patrols in the region, while peace meetings involving elders, local leaders and government officials are ongoing.
PS Olooltua emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation among communities, warning that violence only deepens suffering and undermines development.
Narok County officials welcomed the government’s intervention, noting that the aid would help ease pressure on displaced families as longer term solutions are pursued.
They called for sustained support, including rebuilding of destroyed homes and assistance to help families restart farming and other income-generating activities.
Residents who received the aid expressed relief but urged the government to ensure lasting peace.
“Food helps us survive now, but what we need most is security so we can go back home,” said one displaced resident.
The government has pledged to continue monitoring the situation and working with local stakeholders to prevent further clashes, restore normalcy and support reconciliation efforts across Transmara South.
