Frontier council comprises of Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, Isiolo, Marsabit, West Pokot, Samburu, Lamu, Turkana and Tana River counties. Others are county assembly committee for peace, county department for peace building and conflicts management, county peace actors’ forum, county peace council, sub-county peace committee and ward peace monitors. Another proposal is the establishment of ward peace monitors who will be identified and managed by the respective sub-county peace committees. Their functions will include monitoring conflict events, providing early warning, and coordinating community peace activities and peace education. The policy they said is a first step in having an effective framework for dealing with contemporary peace and security challenges in the pastoral counties.
