Four Anglican bishops and two outgoing MPs have asked the Government to move quickly and deal with politically instigated tribal clashes in Kuresoi, Molo District.
The bishops also want the Government to take measures to avert similar conflicts in other parts of the country.
The clerics said that peace and stability were a pre-requisite for free and fair elections and that the church was taking steps to deal with the violence, which had claimed about 12 lives and left houses torched.
A team of peace-builders from the church were in clash-torn areas, they added.
We need to join in these prayers.
