The wheelbarrow symbols had been located in strategic areas in the town centre but were destroyed during the protests.

“The president has responded well to the issues raised and as residents of Eldoret we stand with him,” said an elder Benjamin Leting.

Church leaders in the region led by ACK Bishop of Eldoret Christopher Ruto also met and called for calm as the president works out to restore normalcy in the country.

“We now must refocus our energy to strengthen peace and deal with the socio-economic issues raised by our youth,” said Bishop Ruto
