The situation at Darusalam Point in Ishakani, Lamu County, is heating up as leaders and elders from both Lamu and Garissa counties contest the administrative boundaries. Here’s a summary of the key points:

1. Dispute Overview: There is a dispute over Darusalam Point, with Lamu leaders accusing Garissa of unjustly claiming the area. The national government had previously gazetted the area under Garissa’s jurisdiction, a move contested by Lamu officials.

2. Local Reactions: Lamu leaders and elders have expressed concerns that the dispute could escalate tensions and conflict if not addressed promptly. A meeting was held with various stakeholders, including the Bajuni Council of Elders and legal experts.

3. Resolution Plan:
– Survey: Lamu leadership has decided to engage surveyors to confirm the boundaries based on historical maps and administrative records.
– Legal Action: If the issue is not resolved through administrative channels, Lamu leaders plan to petition Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and, if necessary, seek legal redress in court.

4. Strategic Importance: The area in question is near a disputed maritime zone rich in natural resources, including natural gas. Lamu leaders argue that losing this territory could significantly impact the county’s economic prospects and access to resources.

5. Local Opposition:
– Senator and MP Actions: Lamu Nominated Senator Shakila Abdalla and Lamu East MP Captain Ruweida Obo have been vocal in opposing the annexation, citing potential economic and strategic losses.
– Community Response: The Bajuni community, native to Lamu, and local elders have vowed to protect Lamu’s territorial integrity.

The conflict remains unresolved, and the proposed survey and legal actions represent the next steps in addressing the boundary dispute.
