(Photo: Fred Kibor/Standard)Two legislators from Elgeyo Marakwet County have threatened to ditch Jubilee if President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto do not urgently intervene to stop attacks on the Marakwet community in Kerio Valley. Marakwet East MP Kangogo Bowen and his Marakwet West counterpart William Kisang said 'it will not be business as usual for them' if the government continued to ignore the plight of the Marakwets. "On Friday and Saturday we will bury three people who were killed this week, the bodies are currently at the Tot Mission Hospital morgue. He said Uhuru and Ruto should leave their campaigns and obsession with the 2017 General Election and visit the region urgently so that they can appreciate the situation and halt the ongoing killings. If the senseless rustling does not stop, our students will be hit more.
