Sir Edward Grigg made a statement on the subject to the Legislative Council to-day. He said that there was always a danger of collision between the Masai and the Lumbw i tribes, which were traditionally antagonistic. The young warriors of both tribes had gathering without the permission of the chiefs, and as the result ther* had been an increasing number of cattle theits, burglaries, and disorders. Any general attitude of hostility to European settlers was unlikely, but the police had been drafted into the Lumbwa territory, and a company of the King’s African Rifles had been ordered to patrol the Masai territory.
