    Abstract
    The Government efforts in mitigating the vice has bone no fruits as the number of deaths keeps on rising from an estimate of 7, 9 and 13 people in 2012, 2014 and 2016 respectively.The main purpose of the study was therefore to assess the effects of social and community issues in interethnic conflicts on economic growth in Muhoroni and Tinderet Kenya. Karl Marx’s Conflict theory was adopted. A correlational study was conducted using a population of 1051 from which simple random sampling was used to obtain a simple of 220 respondents. Questionnaires were the main tools used for data collection. The collected data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential methods which entailed frequency counts and percentages, means and standard deviations and regression models respectively. A response rate of 80.7% was realized thus affirming the significance and relevance of the data. The findings revealed that social issues had a negative effect with significant contribution to the economic growth (β=..666, p<.05) while community issues had a slightly weaker significant effect (β=.198,p<.05).Social and community issues of Inter-ethnic Conflicts had an effect on economic growth and accounted for 58.1% significant variance in economic growth (R square =.581, F(2, 217)=261.296, p=.000). The study concluded that the inter-ethnic conflicts in Nyando, Muhoroni and Tinderet sub-counties were the root causes of the stagnated economy. The study recommended various approaches namely enactment of legislation that can enforce punitive actions against the perpetrators; adopting multiagency approach in curbing the vice; stakeholder involvement and engagement in finding a lasting solution to inter-ethnic conflicts; the national government, lands commission and the members of the community explores ways to deal with matters land.
