At least six people were injured after a police chopper carrying a security team crash-landed in Kaithe, Meru on Saturday morning.
Meru police commander Patrick Lumumba said the team was heading to Marsabit for a security meeting.
In the recent past, regional security teams and leaders have been trying to restore peace in Badan Arero after a group of people in Marsabit crossed into Wajir and stole more than 70 herds of cattle sparking clashes between two communities.
Officials had planned a meeting Saturday seeking to reconcile the feuding communities and the stolen cattle were to be returned to the owners in the presence of regional security officers, local leaders and community elders.
Saturday's crash evokes memories of April 10, 2006 when a military cargo plane carrying a high-level Kenyan delegation on a peace mission crashed in Marsabit town.
