Mr. Okwanyo termed it as Super Baraza. He said the aim was to bring closer the presence of government to the place. He said the visit was to address the cattle rustling challenge among the Pokot community of Baringo. During the super baraza, two AK 47 illegal arms were brought forward by locals for registration.
