Anxiety is high at Suswa in Narok district where the No camp was scheduled to hold its meeting Wednesday.
Security is said to be tight as Yes and No supporters face off with the meeting yet to kick off.
Leaders from the region are said to have warned that they would not allow the No team to hold its meeting in the area.
On Tuesday, MPs allied to the No camp called on the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to take action against the politicians who threatened to block the No campaign rally in Suswa.
MPs Kiema Kilonzo (Mutito), Joshua Kutuny (Cherangany) and Charles Keter (Belgut) said utterances by three prominent Maasai leaders called for prosecution to avoid escalation of ethnic intolerance.
Church leaders also called for stern action against leaders who had threatened to disrupt the Suswa meeting.
Under the umbrella organization, the Kenya Christian Church Leaders (KCCL), the church leaders accused some politicians in the Yes team of issuing direct threats against those planning to attend the Suswa meeting.
"Suswa belongs to all Maasais, including the majority who have rejected the proposed constitution. We challenge the Minister for Internal Security to take responsibility for the security of all Kenyans including those rejecting the proposed law," said Canon Peter Karanja, KCCL Chairman.
