Over 30 Uasin Gishu elders from different communities have refuted claims of alleged circulation of hate leaflets.
Speaking to the media on Monday, they said everybody living in Uasin Gishu regardless of tribe, race or religion has a right to live in the county without fear.
They said anybody trying to incite others to push out other races during the election period, should be dealt with.
"Nobody is leaving Uasin Gishu, the people here belong in this county and there is no where they are going. Our children have intermarried, who then will we chase and who will remain?," one of the elders said.
The elders said they have not got hold of the leaflets or anybody spreading the propaganda but assured the county will remain peaceful before, during and after elections.
"There were nominations that were done, and we did not have such papers, it seems this propaganda is coming up, we don't know if it is those who were defeated that are selling fear to people of Uasin Gishu," another elder said.
"We want peace, we want everybody to live in peace, our people to love one another, during this time of elections as we are all Kenyans."
On June, National Cohesion and Integration Commission had listed the county as one of those likely to experience violence during the August 9 polls.
More than 300 elders from all communities in Uasin Gishu met in Eldoret and accused the NCIC of releasing a "baseless" report that lacked facts.
The elders, led by David Nyambane, said unlike in the past, they are sure there will be no incidents of chaos or violence in the region during this year's election.
“Such reports are very damaging to the reputation of our county and the NCIC should retract its frequent labelling of our region as a hotspot county,” Nyambane said.
