Bureti constituency has emerged as the last location in Kericho County where Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is still being practiced secretly, with married women undergoing the cut.

Kericho County Commissioner John Karungo noted that FGM practitioners in Belgut, Soin/Sigowet, Kipkelion East, Kipkelion West, and Ainamoi, had felt the heat and initiates were now being taken to remote areas of Bureti to undergo the cut.
