By GODFREY OUNDOHMore by this AuthorThe National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has been put on the spot for locking out Samburu youth from an open peace and cohesion forum. The commission led by Mr Francis ole Kaparo had for two days organised a cohesion and peace forum involving youth and women from the county. The event, which was held on Monday and Tuesday at the Maralal Catholic Church Pastoral Centre, was marred with chaos and confusion as dozens of youth who had been invited by Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda were turned away. According to an official from the commission who was one of the organisers of the event, the group of youth who turned up on Tuesday had no official invitation letters. Another resident, Ms Cindy Maiyanai, slammed the organisers to the event for side-lining the youth and ignoring their voice.
