Peace treaties signed over the years have failed to deliver long-lasting peace.
It was a tragedy that left four constituencies in the former Marsabit and Moyale districts without lawmakers on April 10, 2006. Bonaya Godana (North Horr), Abdi Sasura (Saku), Titus Ngoyoni (Laisamis) and Guracha Galgallo (Moyale) perished in a military aeroplane crash.
The accident also claimed the lives of Internal Security assistant minister Mirugi Kariuki, East Africa Legislative Assembly member Abdulahi Adan, Moyale district commissioner Peter Kingola, Anglican Bishop for Kirinyaga Diocese William Waqo and six others while on a peace mission.
