Politics of 2022 and social and economic empowerment are at the centre of the initiative by a group of Kalenjin leaders that is now causing jitters in the Rift Valley region.

The group led by Cherangany MP Joshua Kuttuny, former ministers Henry Kosgey and Franklin Bett and Kalenjin Council of Elders chairman Major Rtd John Seii is said to be targeting to forge a common ground for the future of the community, including the 2022 General Election.
