“Such statements should not be tolerated as it will divide communities who have formed strong bond,” Joseph Saina, Ogiek elders spokesman stated.

The elders were speaking in Mariashoni during a ritual ceremony, ‘Osach Kosochi Gaa’ (a ceremony which is performed yearly to bring together Ogiek community).
