Governor Benjamin Cheboi has commissioned a 3-million-shilling footbridge at Kuikui, Barwessa Ward, Baringo North Constituency. The bridge is a vital connection between Chesangech and Chegilet area in the neighboring Elgeyo Marakwet County.
Urging the farming community to work hard, Governor Cheboi reminded them that the value of infrastructure is the businesses and wealth creation it facilitates. He cautioned against vandalism on the bridge and use of saloon cars to ferry goods across it.
Barwessa Ward Member of County Assembly Hon.

Lorloria promised to distribute cotton seeds to farmers. He also said 3.5 million shillings has been set aside to buy grass seeds for environmental conservation.
