A section of elders from Rift Valley have raised concerns over the ongoing political rivalry among top political leaders.
The elders drawn from the Kalenjin community have warned that political disintegration is threatening the region's unity.
Speaking over the weekend, the elders asked politicians to put the people's interests first and emulate former President Daniel Moi '
They stated that the community was united under Moi's leadership.
"It is unfortunate that the pillars of our community have been pulled down and that this is likely to worsen as we approach 2022," said the elders led by retired Major John Seii.
Wilson Leitich, chairman of the county's peace team, asked leaders in the region to hold a meeting aimed at sorting out their differences.
The view is that Deputy President William Ruto (Jubilee Party) is leading Nandis while Baringo Senator Gideon Moi (Kanu chairman) and Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto are leading the Kipsigis and Tugen communities respectively.
