The Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has today Saturday 15th July 2023 held a security briefing with Rift Valley and Nyanza Regions and Kericho and Kisumu Counties Security and Intelligence Committees and addressed a public baraza at Sondu Market, at the border of Kericho and Kisumu Counties.
While addressing the gathering, Kindiki noted that all differences, be they social, political, religious, or community, can only be resolved peacefully and within the law.
“Violence and lawlessness can not be a solution to any dispute.”
Kindiki warned those who planned and executed the killing and injuring between the Luo and the Kalenjins community.
“Those who orchestrated chaos in Sondu Township on Wednesday, in the guise of border disputes between Kericho and Kisumu Counties, were criminals, whose acts cannot be tolerated or excused.” He said.
Kindiki detailed that the Gov’t is ready to facilitate peace building and cohesion efforts between communities living in border towns.
“The culture of impunity must be stopped, and those keen on driving the country into anarchy through violence and wanton destruction of private and public property dealt with firmly and decisively.” He noted.
