Security agencies, clergy and residents in Kajiado North Sub-County on Sunday took part in a day-long peace caravan aimed at fostering dialogue and strengthening collective commitment to peaceful co-existence.
The caravan, which coincided with the International Day of Peace, comes months after parts of Kajiado County, including Ngong town, witnessed deadly Gen-Z-led protests that left behind tension and mistrust among communities.
Flagged off at the Kajiado North Deputy Commissioner’s office, the procession wound its way to Ngong Park terminus, where leaders sensitized residents on the importance of embracing dialogue and tolerance ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speakers emphasized the need for an all-inclusive approach to community cohesion, urging residents to act as ambassadors of peace, unity, and stability in the region.
At the same time, stakeholders cited drug abuse and alcoholism among the youth as major security threats that continue to undermine development and harmony in the county.
The peace caravan, supported by local officials, faith leaders, and security agencies, was hailed as a timely intervention to cement trust and prevent violence as the country gradually heads towards the next electoral cycle.
