Religious and civil society organizations in Malindi, Kilifi county, staged a peace walk in the wake of rising political tension, insecurity, corruption and gender-based violence in the country.

The group on Sunday sang songs of peace as they marched from the Malindi International airport to the St Anthony's Catholic Cathedral where their leaders read a joint press statement.
