Elders from the five clans of Laikipia Maasai have declared former National Assembly Speaker Francis Ole Kaparo as their spokesperson, calling off other leaders who have been talking on issues affecting Laikipia County.

The elders drawn from Il Ng'wesi, Ilmukokoondo, Lewaso, Il Digiri and Mumunyot held a meeting at Kimanju in Laikipia North where they said outsiders have been talking on their behalf without even consulting them.
