For years, Kainuk town has been a traveller’s worst nightmare. The town evokes chilling memories for many who have plied the Kitale-Lodwar route.

“We used to alight at Marich Police Station to be escorted by the police. Passing Kambi Karaya and Lami Nyeusi was hell on earth,” says David Lopetekwang, a regular traveller on the route.
