Peace-Net Kenya

A cross-border peace and security meeting in the spirit of Uwiano, bringing together NGAOs, NPS, religious and community leaders from Tiaty East (Baringo County), Samburu Central Sub-County and Kirima Sub-County (Laikipia County).

The government expressed a commitment to ensuring rapid recovery of stolen livestock, holding the criminals to account and working closely with local peace structures to ensure recently stolen livestock is recovered and restored to rightful owners.
