Residents living in Kerio Valley border in Elgeyo Marakwet County have lauded the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for visiting the area.

Raila’s  visit comes amidst talks to end cattle rustling menace which has so far claimed scores dead since last year.

The ODM presidential flag bearer during his visit with battery of ODM leaders demanded immediate removal of Parliamentary National Committee 

Chair Asman Kamama for failing to tackle the menace  which has reigned supreme for almost two decades.

Raila said in Chesongoch that jubilee government has failed in addressing cattle rustling despite efforts during the grand coalition that had stopped the vice.

He reiterated that jubilee government has not put the interests of it’s people and at the same time failed in fighting graft.

He urged jubilee administration to fulfill their promises to avert more deaths in region by ensuring implementation of resolutions passed by parliament on cattle rustling.

Fight among the Pokot and Marakwet along the borders has so far led to death of 20 people since last year.

Raila’s visit comes two weeks after the Inspector General  of Police Joseph Boinet toured the area.

West Pokot Senator John Lonyangapuo and senator aspirant David Kimaiyo  during a recent meeting in Lake Bogoria Spa agreed to end animosity brewing among the two communities.
