In a significant step towards enhancing local governance and development, Kamwosor and Kapcherop Centres in Elgeyo Marakwet County are set to be elevated to a Town/Municipality status.
This follows a successful citizen engagement forum held in both centres.
The forum, attended by stakeholders from both centres, saw unanimous endorsement of the proposed elevation, with participants pledging full support for the process.
The exercise was led by the Chief Officer for Lands and Physical Planning Emanuel Birir, alongside other senior officials, including the Ward Administrators, Town Administrators, and technical officers from relevant departments.
Speaking at the Kamwosor Forum, Metkei Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Philip Kipruto highlighted the benefits of the proposed elevation, including improved infrastructure, enhanced service delivery, and increased economic opportunities for residents.
These engagements are part of the county’s efforts to expand and strengthen local governance structures.
The proposed elevation is expected to bring development closer to residents and improve their quality of life.
The same activity will be replicated in Kapsowar and Flax Centres next week.
