We must create ranches across the country to prevent farmer-herder clashes – Chief of Defence staff, Christopher Musa

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has again called for the creation of ranches as a way of stemming the tide of farmer-herder clashes cross the country.

While speaking at a public fora on Wednesday July 23, Musa said;

‘’In order to address insecurity, two things are basic. We must be able to control the movement of animals across the region. In doing that, it is important we create ranches. Ranches will do a great deal in securing our control and will prevent the conflict between the Farmer-Herders clashes. Secondly, we must learn to stop killing animals crossing into farms. What is done is you arrest the animals and compensations are made. If we are able to address theses two things, over 65% of challenges we have against farmers will be dealt with”
