They were led by the inter-faith council chairman Rev. Faustus Mpapale, Sheikh Ibrahim Sadala and Sheikh Idris Mohammed of Kakamega County Imams and preachers of Kenya.
The leaders said it was paramount to preach peace in western region regardless of the difference in political party affiliations saying we still needed each other beyond 2022 politics.
The leaders also asked parents to guide their Sons and daughters in the right way saying peace begins at home and so parents had a vital role to play in maintaining it.
