Two people have been arrested in connection with the circulation of ethnic hate leaflets in parts of Eldoret. The leaflets in Kiswahili told four communities to leave, said the land historically did not belong to them. Kihara said initial investigations indicated the main cause of the leaflets was land conflicts. Kihara said the government has activated peace committees involving Eldoret elders to calm the situation that caused fear in the area. Mandago had two days ago given the security teams two week to ensure that all those behind the leaflets are arrested, paraded and prosecuted.
