According to KBC, the president said that the camps will only be set up if leaders from the region ensure that tribal animosity comes to an end.
The Friday meeting came after yet another meeting by the Deputy President William Ruto with the same leaders from Turkana, Samburu, Baringo and West Pokot counties..
