Governors have petitioned President Uhuru Kenyatta to end violence in Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. In a statement to newsrooms, the governors condemned the continuing violence, loss of life and destruction of property in the two counties.

“Governors reaffirm that no part of this country should be surrendered to bandits roaming freely, stealing, maiming and killing Kenyans,” read part of the statement by Council of Governors (CoG) signed by Chairman Peter Munya.
