It is with deep sorrow and outrage that we condemn the brutal killing of Catholic Priest, Father Alois Cheruiyot Bett, by suspected bandits in Kerio Valley, Elgeyo Marakwet. This cowardly act is not only an attack on a man of peace but also a shameful assault on humanity and faith.

Father Bett was a beacon of hope and unity. His death must not be in vain. We call on authorities to bring the culprits to justice swiftly and urge all communities in Kerio Valley to reject violence and embrace peace.

Let us honor his memory by choosing love over hate, peace over conflict, and unity over division.

Rest in peace, Father Alois Cheruto Bett.Your light will continue to shine in our hearts.

Tirioko Ward Representative Sam Lokales has raised concerns over the decision to launch a national kitchen gardening initiative in Eldama Ravine, arguing that the choice of location undermines the program’s intended impact.

The program, officially launched yesterday by First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto, aims to promote household-level food security through small-scale vegetable gardening. While commending the First Lady for championing a food-secure society, Lokales criticized her advisors for selecting an agriculturally rich area like Eldama Ravine a region already flourishing in food production instead of more vulnerable, semi-arid areas of Baringo.

“Eldama Ravine is the agricultural heart of Baringo. It has thriving farming activities and even boasts an Agricultural Training Centre that equips farmers with modern skills. There’s little to gain from launching a kitchen gardening project in a region that already produces maize, potatoes, and a variety of vegetables,” Lokales said.

He suggested that the program would have had greater impact if launched in marginalized communities like Tiaty, Baringo North, or even neighboring Turkana County, where food insecurity is a pressing challenge.

“Kitchen gardening can be a lifeline in semi-arid regions. It helps families grow their own food, improves nutrition, and boosts incomes in areas where markets are unreliable and drought is common. A launch in remote villages like Korelach or Napeikoree would have touched more lives,” he added.

Lokales concluded his remarks with a message of peace and hope that future initiatives will be better aligned with the actual needs on the ground, avoiding what he called “duplication of programs in areas that need no teacher.”

The First Lady’s visit, while symbolic, has sparked a broader conversation on equity and strategy in implementing food security initiatives across Kenya.

BREAKING NEWS: Tension Escalates in Todonyang After Fatal Night-Time Attack Leaves Four Dead

Fresh violence has erupted along the Kenya-Ethiopia border, where at least four people lost their lives in a suspected cross-border ambush involving the Dasannach and Turkana communities. The attack occurred around 1 a.m. in the volatile Todonyang area, known for recurring ethnic tensions.

Sources indicate the victims, believed to be from the Turkana community, were on a nighttime fishing mission near Lake Turkana when they were ambushed. Residents of Todonyang and Lowarengak have been left shaken, with many fearing further retaliation.

Local leaders have condemned the incident and called for urgent government intervention to prevent a cycle of revenge. Security forces have been deployed to the area, and efforts to de-escalate the situation are ongoing.

This latest incident underscores the fragile peace in the region, where historical grievances and competition over resources frequently fuel deadly clashes.

Breaking News: Baringo County Assembly Launches Special Investigation into Hiring Irregularities.

A newly established Ad Hoc Committee by the Baringo County Assembly has officially commenced its work to investigate serious allegations of irregularities in the employment process within the County Government.

The investigation will specifically focus on the Baringo County Public Service Board and the Office of the County Secretary, following growing concerns over possible violations of hiring procedures.

During its first sitting held at the Assembly chambers, the seven-member committee elected Hon. Jeruto Kiptalla (Nominated MCA) as Chairperson. Hon. Sam Lokales, the MCA for Tirioko Ward, was unanimously chosen as the Vice Chairperson.

The committee has been given a 30-day timeline to conduct a thorough inquiry and submit a comprehensive report to the County Assembly.

Meanwhile, residents of Baringo County are urged to come forward and submit any complaints or relevant information that could support the investigation. Submissions can be made through the Office of the Clerk of the County Assembly.

This marks a major step toward transparency, accountability, and restoring public trust in county employment systems.

JUST IN: In renewed efforts to build trust and cooperation between communities and security agencies, the team leading the "Maliza Uhalifu" operation in Northern Rift Valley is holding a key peace and security meeting yesterday in Naudo, Baringo County. The gathering brings together local residents, community leaders, and security officials to engage in open dialogue about ongoing insecurity challenges in the region, especially in Tiaty Constituency, which has long been considered a hideout for criminals.

According to the program’s coordinators, the meeting in Naudo is part of a broader initiative to foster grassroots peacebuilding and deepen collaboration. As part of the same campaign, another forum is scheduled to take place this Thursday in Akwichatis, furthering the momentum of community engagement.

These efforts follow a series of similar peace forums held last week in Loruk, Chesirimion, Nginyang, and Chemuktani. In those sessions, communities were given the space to raise their concerns, share lived experiences, and propose long-term security solutions that reflect local realities.

The joint approach involving multiple security agencies and development partners aims not only to address current threats but also to promote sustainable peace through dialogue, transparency, and mutual trust.
