A section of Marsabit leaders protested the arrest.
They claimed that the two had attended meetings in which local leaders pledged to support peace-building efforts.
Last week, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i said intelligence reports had established that politicians were fanning the violence, warning that stern action would be taken against the culprits.
Hundreds of people have fled their homes in the affected areas, with 16 schools in villages such as Shur, Oronderi, Qubi qallo and Jaldesa being closed.
