Facing Mt Mutelo; Pokot elders pray for peace

A section of Pokot elders took time in the eve of New Year to pray for the nation while facing the regarded Mt Mutelo.

They prayed for peace for the New Year 2016 and for Kenyans to live peacefully with more emphasis on the political dynamics ahead of the 2017 General Elections.

Elder Peter Ngorikwang disclosed that the elders do camp together each year for a common prayer on imperative matters concerning the community and the nation at large.

"It is a common practice for us to face the sacred Mt Mutelo and make pleas to our creator whenever we have pressing issues and this time we were praying for peace," he said.
