Friends,
Peace Building efforts around the common Nandi Luo Border has taken some very aggressive form. There are many players who are keen on seeing an amicable settlement to the incessant border skirmishes.
To help drive this process forward, there was a Multi-Sectoral Peace Building Forum for active players around the Muhoroni and Nandi Area in Kisumu in an Initiative that was led by the Local Capacities for Peace International and the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management.
L-R; Ms Milliscent Otieno of LCPI, Bishop Jpseph Ochola of the Lutheran Church, Mr. Domnic Odipo of NSCPBCM and Peace Monitor Nyanza Region, Mr. Solomon Abwaku- DC Muhoroni and Odhiambo T Oketch
The meeting was attended by the DC Muhoroni Mr. Solomon Abwaku, Ms Milliscent Otieno of LCPI, Mr. Domnic Odipo- Peace Monitor Nyanza Region with NSCPBCM, Bishop Joseph Ochola of the Lutheran Church and several Peace actors from the Region.
The DC Muhoroni noted that there were several Peace Actors in the region and as such, there was need to coordinate their various interventions without necessarily curtailing their objectives as we avoid duplicating efforts.
Noting that peace was of paramount importance to development, he invited as many more players to come to the Region and offer material support in the healing process. He appreciated the Mennonite Church for the support they recently gave to 10 families who had been without shelter for some time now. They did give 12 Iron Sheets each to some 10 families to help start them up.
The good thing is, Mennonite Church gave the Iron Sheets, the People gave the Timber and the Government provided the labour and this was an effort that proved that we can achieve alot as a united team.
We at The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign are happy that we are part of this Transformative Agenda, and on the 19th April 2012, we will be meeting with almost 300 Elders, Women and Youth Leaders from the Luo at Kibigori Chief's Camp at 10am to go through the Resolutions that the Luo have passed in the on going Peace Process and adopt the same.
On the same date at 2pm, we will meet a similar number from the Nandi to go through their Resolutions and adopt the same. The two Teams are being led by the various Chairmen of the District Peace Committee Mzee Otiato and Mzee Chumo.
The two meetings will be attended by the DC Muhoroni and the DC Nandi East and all Peace Actors and People of Good will are invited to attend.
