Cord leader Raila Odinga has condemned the government for keeping quiet over intensified fights between the Pokot and Marakwet at the Kerio Valley. Raila, in a statement from London on Saturday, said it was unfair for President Uhuru Kenyatta to act as if nothing was wrong in the region. "I wish to bring to the attention of the President that the carnage and lawlessness has gone on in the Kerio Valley since May 2016.

He told the groups to instead jointly confront the national government with demands for their rightful share of development and compensation.
