The ongoing International Criminal Court (ICC) cases, pending resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs), hastened court orders and biased employment in universities are impeding complete reconciliation in parts of Uasin Gishu County, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was told.

County Commissioner Abdi Hassan, who has been facilitating reconciliation and cohesion in the region which was hard hit by the 2008 Post Election Violence (PEV), told the NCIC that tension is still palpable in the area.
