dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study was to study the effects of arms proliferation on co-existence among societies living in Marsabit County. The study was framed under the foundations of Social Conflict theory. The study used a descriptive survey design aimed at describing the problem without manipulation of the resultant data. The population comprised of 10,005 household heads, Deputy county commissioner, 4 Assistant County Commissioners, 11 chiefs in Saku Sub County and the members of security committee. Samples of 175 household heads were selected using Slovin’s formula. All the DCC, 4ACCs, 11 chiefs and members of security committee were included in the sample since it was relatively small population. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to all the participants. Descriptive analysis, in the form of mean, median, percentages, and standard deviation was used for quantitative data. Regression analysis and inferential statistics was conducted. Thematic analysis was used to analysis qualitative data emanating from open-ended questions. Permission and authorizations from Kenyatta University, NACOSTI, County Commissioner, County Director of Education in Marsabit County, including other relevant gate-keepers was sort. All ethical consideration in handling the respondents and the resultant data was adhered to. The study concluded that there existed a discernible negative association between arms proliferation and inter-ethnic co-existence in Marsabit County and there was need for dialogue to mitigate potential conflicts. The study firmly asserted that arms escalation intensified conflicts, necessitating comprehensive peace-building initiatives and fostering inter-community dialogue to ensure enduring stability.
