Deputy president William Ruto has ordered the recruitment of more police reservists to help restore peace to the troubled Kerio valley in Elgeyo - Marakwet county. The DP, who was accompanied by interior CS Joseph Nkaissery and inspector-general of police Joseph Boinnet, also ordered the relocation of police stations on the Elgeyo - Marakwet side of the boundary with West Pokot. The DP, however, encountered a cold reception after Marakwet’s refused to have a joint meeting with the Pokot save for the intervention of Marakwet west MP William Kisang.
