Five years after bandits attacked Kapedo Catholic Church in the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar, Turkana East sub-county, killing two police reservists, three Catholic bishops in the bandit-prone areas of the North Rift region united in calling for lasting peace while reconsecrating the Church on September 27, 2023.
The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has announced that six dioceses will form a united front in creating synergies for peacebuilding processes to address the root causes of conflict that trigger violence among the pastoralist communities in the North Rift region.
