“Even during the campaigns, we want all our leaders to campaign freely in all parts of the country so at the end of the day, voters can freely decide because we are all Kenyans," Kinyanjui said.
He was installed in Eldoret during a colorful and elaborate ceremony of traditional rituals.
Kamau, 75, was been installed to take over from Mzee Kamunu wa Kabari who died two month ago.
Kamau will be spokesman and leader for the more than 380,000 members of the community in Uasin Gishu county.
The installation comes at a significant time, just 10 months to the polls. He will play a crucial role in the community within the county that is hoe to DP William Ruto.
Kamau, popularly known as Mtalii, was installed by elders aged over 80 years at the ceremony led by Mzee Mathenge Wa Iregi.
The ceremony took place at Kamau's home near Langas in Eldoret.
"I have accepted this position of leadership and I will work hard to represent the community according to the powers bestowed on me," Kamau said.
The spokesman said as the country heads to the polls leaders and all Kenyans should avoid actions that can trigger animosity.
“Let's all ensure we do not utter words that can spark animosity and our leaders should ensure they do not misuse our youth to cause chaos during campaigns," he said.

"The elders are very useful and have always helped in guiding our community and ensuring peace and harmony within families and the community," Wainaina said.
