"Electioneering over, Kenyans should be left free to work and improve the hailing economy, fights will only worsen the situation" Losikiriatum said on Friday.

He was backed by Pokot Peace Chairman Musa Amokon, James Katerema, Peter Didii and Daniel Lotita.

They however called upon Government and opposition to meet urgently, dialogue to end political supremacy battles.

"Leaders under previous administrations maintained peace and order the nation acquired soon after independence in 1963, it should not be Ruto's Government distorting it"

Losikiriatum said.

Amokon said Kenyans have since independence have proven to be peace-loving people, "so president Ruto should aspire to uphold and protect the country's integrity" he said.

The elders who met in an impromptu meeting in Churo said they managed to help preach peace to end banditry and cattle rustling among warring pastoral communities.

"But the government verses opposition skirmishes is getting out of hand, it calls for an urgent intervention" Losikiriatum said.
