1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report intends to give a general outline of both events and proceedings of the Kuresoi
consultative meeting held at Hotel Cathay-Nakuru on 13th and 14th July 2010

In all cases of Post Election Violence, the Central Rift Valley province has always been the
epicenter of inter-ethnic conflicts. Out of the 1,133 deaths reported according to the Waki
Report on the 2008 Post Election Violence (PEV), 744 cases were in Rift Valley alone. The
districts of Uasin Gishu (230 deaths), Larger Nakuru (213) and Trans Nzoia (104), Molo
(94), and Kuresoi (105) registered the highest deaths in the country, all in Rift Valley. The
Larger Nakuru district has experienced the violence each general elections with Molo,
Kuresoi and Naivasha districts experiencing the violence even in a relatively calm general
election like the 2002.

As the country moves towards the National Referendum on the new Proposed Draft
Constitution, tensions are high in most parts of Central Rift Valley Province, in Nakuru,
Rongai, Molo, Kuresoi, Njoro, Kipkelion districts. These tensions are emerging from the
mis-interpretations by the political leaders on issues among them Land, which has been as
the centre stage in the previous post election violence among communities living in the Rift
Valley Province it is in line with this that the forum was organized and facilitated by the
Provincial Peace Forum, PPF with support from USAID/DAI through KTI (Kenya transition
initiative).

The meeting which was mainly consultative attracted well over 60 participants all drawn
from diverse ethnic communities and of different gender age and opinion but united in
purpose; to promote a violence free referendum in Kuresoi and Molo districts .Also present
were group representatives of the youth women, clergy elders, politicians. Civic leaders,
public administration and the donor agency representatives.

1.2 Reasons for the forum /objectives

He started by thanking all the participants for honoring the invitation to work with PPF and
described this as a consultative meeting that seeks and come up with ways and means of
preventing the referendum and environment conflicts experienced in Kuresoi Molo through
conflict mapping analysis and facilitate a feasible conflict management strategy. He
encouraged the participants to work closely as partners with the government and take
active role in conflict prevention through reporting early warning signs to the provincial
administration officers and to be involved in lobbing for the realization of the reform
Agenda and for realization of the peaceful voting during the coming referendum on the
proposed constitution draft.

Mr. Kubasu took the opportunity to thank the participants for their efforts towards
realization of peace in Kuresoi and reminded them that the government has recognized
their contribution and is willing to join hands with them to ensure a peaceful referendum
period through the caravan. Lastly he thanked USAID/DAI for their contribution and
support in facilitating the meeting and other successful peace initiatives in the North Rift
region.

2.3 Mr. Luke, Youth Representative

In his remark, the youth representatives Mr. Luke thanked the organizations (PPF and DAI)
of the workshop for ensuring that the youth have been mainstreamed in this peace building
process. Mr. Luke retaliated that although there has been many peace initiatives in
Kuresoi/Molo in the past, the youth who have been affected most have been sidelined.

Mr. Luke identified unjust structures resources different opinion objectives and cultural
diversity as the main causes of the conflict in Kuresoi. He also blamed women and elders
for taking active role in escalation of conflicts by spreading rumors and marginalizing youth
efforts respectively.

It described success stories associated with youth group activities such as sports and culture
for peace environmental conservation and cultural exchange programmes according to him
although the youth in this region have good intentions they are faced with resource
challenges.

Mr. Luke’s presentation was followed by women leaders’ remarks. The women as
represented by Pastor Lucy Asked the government to implement peace initiatives that will
address conflicts during its early stages since they are the most affected party when
conflicts escalade to violence. She stressed the need to address land issues IDPS and Mau
evictees, she also recommended extensive civic education so as to reduce the role of
politicians in interpreting the draft constriction, and in her conclusion she thanked the
government and organizers for facilitating the meeting at the right time.

2.4 Councilor Cheluk

Councilor Cheluk- civic leader from Kamara in Kuresoi- retaliated that Kuresoi is well
known for all the wrong reasons. He thanked the stakeholders for their timely approach to
the conflict. He also said that the participants were there to report that thing were not well
in Kuresoi and that the conflict in Kuresoi is a time bomb that is waiting to be triggered. He
also sighted discrimination in treatment of IDPs as the main cause of division among the
Agikuyu and Kalenjin communities. He recommended that if there will be a future
settlement arrangement then it ought to ensure equal treatment of both communities and
promote a mixture of these tribes so as to promote unity among the people.

He identified three main issues which included

 Land
 Resources
 Government laxity in the settling of IDPS.

He told the participants that they should ensure that Kuresoi will not experience conflicts
again and asked the organizers if they can facilitate a peace meeting for Molo, Nakuru, and
Naivasha. He finally thanked PPF and USAID/DAI offices for their effort to address the
issues and asked the participants to note the need to preserve Mau forest since it is a water
catchments area.

2.5 Pastor Lucy, NCCK Representative

In her remarks, she stressed the needed to address the IDPs and Mau evictees’ problem.
She complained that although the IDPs were assisted by NCCK,most of them are still
suffering and lack both food and a piece of land to settle. She was sad that the Government
failed to reflect the needs of the IDPs in the 2010/11 financial year.

“They are not reflected in the budget yet they are still hungry and suffering especially
during rainy seasons”

She therefore asked the government to speed up and act on the plight of this forgotten lot
of Kenyans.

2.6 Councilor Matukel

In his remarks councilor Matukel from Mau defended the Ogiek eviction from the forest
that although they have been living in the forest since time immemorial, the government
has been reluctant in addressing issues relating to the implementation of the taskforce and
eviction. This has lead the Ogiek feeling marginalized on the ground.

Councilor Matukel appreciated the efforts of the P C’s office and asked the government to
send people to collect and record information from the ground so as to come up with the
real issues affecting the Ogiek people and their opinion regarding the conflict. In his

Kuresoi Peace Caravan Report-13th-14th July 2010

 8

closing remarks he asked the participants to promote civic education and be weary in
approaching the Mau issues since it is different and complex.

2.7 Mr. Sam Kona, DAI Representative

In his presentation, Mr. Kona narrated success stories in peace initiatives under taken by
PPF in partnership with USAID through KTI program. He also talked about the need to
understand that as Kenyans we are inter-connected and as such stand together as a country.
He said his office is recording positive feedback and asked the participants to come
forward and ensure Kuresoi, Molo and its
environment is safe. He also stressed the need
for commitment in realizing sustainable peace
and development.

Mr. Kona asked the participant to be ready to

ensure nobody is intimidated because of
his/her voting opinion. He told the Caravan to
be hard on the problem and not to the person
by telling them that the future of Kuresoi and
Molo lies on the hands of the people of
Kuresoi and Molo districts and that they should
actively participate fully in the grassroots,
implementation of the program.

In his closing remark, Mr. Kona asked the

participants to refuse violence and support any
candidate of their choice but let peace be a
pre-condition.

2.8 D.C Silas, Kuresoi District

He started by saying that Kuresoi people
should love peace. however according to him
the current situation is not encouraging as he
noted the recent dog poisoning incidences he
also appreciated the government efforts to address the causes of conflict in this area which
included putting in place of peace committees from location to district level and
encouraged the participants to embrace the culture of peace since it is the prerequisite of
development.

3.0 Contextual Analysis: Current Issues/Situation

3.1 Introduction

Kuresoi Peace Caravan Report-13th-14th July 2010

 9

The participants were asked to discuss the causes, pattern, actors, when it started and the
current situation. This was meant to analyze and gain a common understanding of the
issues leading to conflict.
The participants were asked to form four groups’ in terms of their ethnic background. These
groups included:
 Ogiek
 Luhya
 Kikuyu
 Kalenjin

3.2 Description Of The Conflict

3.2.1 Ogiek
According to the Ogiek, land and historical injustices, leadership wrangles, unemployment,
poor infrastructure, political differences and kipsigis trespass on Ogiekland are the main
courses of the Molo/Kuresoi conflict. Although this conflict was first experienced in 1992,
the trend has been recurring after every 5 years –during election periods. The actors have
included the elders, youth and women and the areas mostly affected have included Mawe
Mbili, Kamwaura, Wateri and Ngongongeri where cases of animal and livestock theft have
been reported frequently.

Registration of the real Ogiek and lack of information about the draft and civic education
has led to the current tensions in Kuresoi.

3.2.2 Abaluhya
According to their representative the Luhya feel that the main causes of the conflict, which
started in 1992, have included cultural differences, resources, biased IDP resettlement and
employment opportunities which have always taken the tribal lines. Just like their Ogiek
counterparts the Luhya noted that the main hot spots include Kuresoi, kamwaura and
Keringet Divisions.

The pattern of conflict has been described as starting with secrete meetings ,rumous
,assault cases ,tensions ,robberies and rape followed by creation of no go zones. This can
also be observed through patterns of migration and threats, closure of institutions and
finally attacks and retaliations leading to displacement and fear among the community
members. The actors involved include the police, NGOS and the media. The participants
felt that the high tensions in this area are caused by the Mau Evictees pressure and need to
address their survival and existence needs.

3.3.3 Kikuyu.
This group identified generalization of issues, ignorance and the assumptions that all
kikuyu support a particular party, hypocrisy and government laxity to address unequal
distribution of employment as among the reasons that have led to escalation of this

 10

conflict. The actors involved in this conflict were divided into those that are involved
directly and those involved indirectly.
 Elders.
 Politicians.
 Women.
 Directly
 Youths.
 Married Youth.
 Militia groups e.g. kalenjin warriors, Mungiki etc.

This group noted that tension is high and speculates that whichever side will win, conflict
is bound to arise. The summary of the group’s discussions and presentation are as tabulated

3.2.4 CONCLUSION: DESCRIPTION OF THE CONFLICT

The reasons for the conflict in Molo and Kuresoi range from land and IDPs issues to
unemployment and unequal distribution of resources among the inhabitants who are
mainly of Kalenjin and Kikuyu origin. The participants observed that the main areas
affected includes the three divisions of Kuresoi,Kamara and Keringet .The pattern of conflict
included formation of groups, rumous and increased tensions that are as a result of hate
speech propagated by politicians and spread of leaflets that bare threats and warnings. This
is sometimes followed by creation of no go zones information that is always spread
through word of mouth.

The conflict has mainly been fueled by the role of the media, the police, NGOs with vested
interests, thieves, elders, youth and women. The police as an institution is blamed for
being biased in their operation which is tribal based while the media is blamed for
wrongfully showing video clips from their archives in their news updates. An example is
given when the media shoed (in 2008) houses that were burned in 1992.

This conflict, according to the participants, has been on and off since 1992 but keeps on
erupting whenever there is any political differences among the local or national leadership.
Mr. Luke, a representative of the Kalenjin community explained that conflict between
kalenjin and Kikuyu started in 1975 when there was a forced eviction in Chepakundi and
Orofa. Currently people who perceived to be likely to vote for the proposed constitution
are threatened a situation which has called for immediate action as non kalenjin are selling
their land. Tension is high and the region is volatile.

4.0 APPROACHES TO PEACE IN KURESOI

4.1 Introduction
This session intended to discuss ways of addressing the conflict and work towards a lasting
peace and stability through critically analyzing the past conflict prevention and
management strategies employed, which ones succeeded, failed and why. The following is
a summary of what the two groups presented.

The session also involved discussions that aimed at coming up with other management
strategies that will ensure sustainable peace is achieved, by addressing what ought to be
done, by who and where.

4.6 APPROACHES TO PEACE - CONCLUSION

Having been a region that experiences intermittent conflict in the past 18 years, many
actors including both the government and nongovernmental peace stakeholders have tried
to put up a fight against violence through employing many conflict management strategies
which included the following:
 Signing of peace accord.
 Games, sports and cultural activities.
 Risk takers.
 Conflict resolution trainings.
 Operation ujirani mwema and Rudi nyumbani.
 The media.
 The church.
 Use of community elders from all tribes
 Humanitarian assistance.
 Enhancement of security for all tribes.
 Resettlement of people in different places
 Chiefs Barazas.

Trauma healing and counseling among others.

Although most strategies worked, others failed due to different reasons as explained in the
table above. The main problems experienced in implementation of these e strategies have
included; biased personnel, unequal distribution of foods and tents e.g. Mau evictees were
given substandard tents, negative journalism, and poor conduction of resettlement and fake
beneficiaries and issues that led to the conflicts were left unaddressed.

In line with this the Kuresoi group suggested that all stakeholders should net work and
mobilize their communities in an effort to address the conflict through involving the youth
community development and leadership, training people in early warning, preaching
peace in churches, stop the use of inflammatory language, hate speeches and words,
Encouragement of civic education and community projects e.g. Kazi kwa Vijana in the
whole of Kuresoi district.

The Molo group in their part, stressed the need to have strategies that are grass roots based
and people driven in all mentioned hot spots such as Sirikwa, strategies which will carry
out civic education, promote cultural appreciation through exchange programs and

Kuresoi Peace Caravan Report-13th-14th July 2010

 18

promote reconciliation spirit through networking with other stakeholders and local
communities.

5.0 PULLING TOGETHER AND PRIORITIZING ISSUES

In tackling the third objective, the participants identified resources and socio cultural
differences as the most fundamental causes which are always triggered by political
differences and tribalism. They also identified politicians, businessmen, thieves and the
youth as the main actors in their role in using their influence to gain political power,
businessmen’s opportunity to increase the prices and thieves take advantage of lawlessness
to steal and conduct livestock raids.

In order to propose a framework for coordination and early warning system to address
potential violence and prevent referendum-related violence the participants suggested the
following; that both NGOs and community leaders, law enforcement agencies and other
stakeholders to work closely in peace building and mitigation of the Kuresoi Molo conflict
especially during the referendum period. This can be done through, addressing the need to
sensitize the community on the content of the draft constitution, the need for peaceful
election campaign and the need for enforcement of National Cohesion Act by reporting the
offenders. They unanimously agreed that confidence and trust can only be built through
promoting cultural interaction, preaching peaceful coexistence and strengthening of
community policing and peace networks.

They also promised to take active role in prevention of political manipulation and
incitement during referendum and building sustainable peace in their communities by
acting as role models and peace ambassadors, creating awareness on the importance of
peace.
