Councilors from Marakwet condemn arrests of youth by police
Marakwet councilors have come out strongly to condemn arrests of youth by police in the area. Speaking to the press in Eldoret, the councilors lamented that IDP’s recently resettled in the Rudi Nyumbani programme are victimising their people alleging that they flushed them out of their homes leading to arrests of innocent youth. The councilor however said they have accepted the displaced back to their farms and demanded that the police should stop harassing their people. At the same time the councilors have asked those who took property of people from other communities displaced during the post poll violence to return them for true reconciliation and peaceful co-existence. They also asked the government to compensate those who lost their property.
