Pokot leaders snubbed a peace meeting attended by Deputy President William Ruto in West Pokot County yesterday in protest over the on going military operation in Kapedo.
The political leaders boycotted the peace race event organised by Tecla Lorupe’s Peace Foundation (TLPF) at Makutano stadium in Kapenguria yesterday. Emotions were high with heavy presence of police as some residents waved placards protesting the Government’s move to deploy the military to flush out criminals in the conflict-prone pastoral counties.
