The construction of Sh15 billion road through Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot counties is expected to open up the region whose potential over the years has been unexploited.

Yesterday, Kenya National Highway Authority officials met Baringo leaders led by Senator Gideon Moi and governor Stanley Kiptis in a consultative meeting at Lake Bogoria Spa Resort to agree on areas of improvement.
