The Kitui government is expected to review its guidelines with respect to access of national parks for grazing and watering livestock purposes.
The status should be updated with consideration of drought and other natural disasters in regards to section 102(4) of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013.
The drought has brought conflict between the Akamba and Somali communities.
Residents have claimed that children have stopped going to school while others have fled their homes and now spend cold nights in bushes for fear of being attacked.
At least 48 people in the county are said to have been killed while hundreds of women and girls have been raped.
The officers are said to have found more than 1,000 camels and 2,000 goats, which are being driven away from Kitui county.
The two communities have previously coexisted harmoniously but the conflict has triggered camel herders who forcefully invade the region.
The invasion has led to women being raped, residents being maimed and killed while camels are slaughtered with pangas, provoking the conflict.
The herders and farmers have also encroached on the Kitui South game reserve.
