Elders and peace committee members from Marsabit have agreed to work together to end conflicts that have led to deaths and the destruction of property. The elders held a two-day meeting in Nanyuki town under the mediation of former National Cohesion and Integration Commission chairman Francis ole Kaparo. Previous reconciliation meetings failed to reach a truce, with the warring communities targeting each other in retaliatory attacks. The conflicts have also claimed the lives of senior government officials, elected leaders and mediators during peace missions. The former National Assembly speaker said there will be follow-up meetings to ensure the elders keep their pledge to promote peace in the villages.
