Interior and National Administration CS Kipchumba Murkomen has emphasized the need for accelerated infrastructure development in the Kerio Valley, stating that investments in roads and other essential services are crucial for maintaining security and fostering economic growth. During the launch of the Kipsaraman-Kinyach Road and the commencement of the Baringo North Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Project in Kinyach, Baringo North Constituency, Murkomen praised President William Ruto for directing the National Security Council to prioritize development in communities that have ceased engaging in cattle rustling and other criminal activities.

He noted that the government should bolster security efforts by complementing them with tangible development projects that provide residents with opportunities to enhance their livelihoods.

He reiterated that President Ruto is the only leader who understands that development is the sole solution to addressing banditry in the area, urging him to prioritize the construction and enhancement of key roads linking communities in the Kerio Valley.
