Eight counties in both North and South Rift are set benefit from trade and development opportunities following a successful tour by their leaders to the US.

The six governors and two deputies are back from a two-week visit courtesy of an invitation from Gotabgaa Association of Kalenjins living in the US, who linked them with interested investors and donors to Rift Valley counties.
