Wajir County is one of Kenya’s expansive administrative regions with a population of about 700,000 people and an area of 55,840.6 kilometres square. Like most parts of Northern Kenya, it has borne the brunt of marginalisation since independence more than 50 years ago.
Apart from perennial clan wars that have cost lives, loss of property including animals the new administration is keen on turning around the economy of the County with targeted projects which bolster peace and self reliance.
