Prof Saitoti also announced he was talking to his counterparts in Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan to ensure the disarmament is carried out simultaneously across the borders.
Otherwise, Kenyan pastoral communities living on border districts would be left vulnerable to armed attacks from their neighbours since cross-border incursions, particularly from the Toposa of Southern Sudan, and the Karamanjong of Uganda, are prevalent.
