A section of leaders from Baringo and West Pokot have appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to deescalate the ongoing security operation in Kapedo.
Led by senate Majority leader Samuel Poghisio and Titay MP William Kamket, they accused the security operators of applying excessive force in ending the skirmishes.
They said the operation is inhumane and should be stopped to save lives.
The leaders on Wednesday asked the government to change tack in addressing security concerns in the volatile area.
According to them, disputes over boundaries, poverty and lack of basic necessities are fueling the inter community clashes.
On Tuesday, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i warned politicians who might have been behind Kapedo killings that their days are numbered.
Addressing journalists after a meeting with North Eastern leaders, Matiang'i said the death of an officer during the attack was premeditated.
On Monday, Rift Valley regional commissioner George Natembeya said bandits had crossed a red line by killing a law enforcement officer.
"Our senior police officer was murdered, there was no conflict, it was a clear case of a premeditated, planned ambush that was targeting our GSU deputy director of operations,” Matiang'i said.
Matiang'i said that the culprits should surrender before they meet the law.
"We will go for them no matter how long it will take us. Some people have done that, including leaders and I need to emphasize that. They have gotten away with that kind of behaviour for far too long," he said.
"There is a culture in that part of our country which seeks to protect negative and criminal armament that disguises as cattle rustling but in actual fact, it is funded. We are in hot pursuit of certain people including leaders," he said.
Matiang'i said that those involved are facilitated to meet with the law adding that by the time they are done, it would be a story to be told generations to come.
