The Kitui governor had early this month called on the crackdown on anybody found burning or ferrying charcoal from Kitui to other counties saying that charcoal burning was killing the economy and destroying the environment.
The government has however warned Kitui residents against terrorizing charcoal traders transiting the county from the neighbouring Tana river county.
