Tuyobei Bridge a Game Changer for Sugarcane Farmers in Transmara.

Sugarcane farmers in Mogondo Ward, Narok County, are set to benefit from the long-awaited completion of the Tuyobei Bridge — a key infrastructure project that promises to ease transport challenges that have plagued the region for years.

Thanks to the interventions of Mogondo Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) and Narok County Assembly Majority Whip, Hon. Kipsang Mibei, the bridge will significantly improve connectivity between Mogondo and Esoit Sugar Factory, boosting agricultural productivity and market access.

Speaking during a technical assessment of the project, Hon. Kipsang noted that the bridge will address the perennial difficulties faced by farmers in transporting their sugarcane produce, especially during the rainy season.

In addition to the Tuyobei Bridge, several other infrastructure projects are underway in the area, including the construction of Chebara Bridge, the establishment of Ololmasani University, and the upgrading of the Olchobosei–Tuyobei–Esoit Factory road to bitumen standards.

“We thank President Dr. William Ruto for the tremendous transformation we’ve seen in Transmara,” said Kipsang, highlighting the national government’s support in accelerating development in the region.

These ongoing developments are expected to spur economic growth, create employment opportunities, and enhance access to essential services for the residents of Mogondo and its environs.

Former Civic Leaders Back Dr. Michael Bongei for Bomet Governor
A group of former civic leaders from Bomet County have officially endorsed Dr. Michael Bongei’s gubernatorial bid for 2027, describing him as the fresh, youthful leader the county desperately needs.
Speaking during a consultative forum held, the former leaders expressed deep concern over the state of governance in the county, pointing to widespread corruption, poor service delivery, and lack of transparency. They emphasized that the time had come for Bomet to embrace new leadership grounded in integrity, innovation, and public service.
“Bomet has been plagued by numerous challenges, including mismanagement of resources and unresponsive leadership. Dr. Bongei represents a new era — one of accountability, fresh ideas, and inclusivity,” said one of the leaders.
They urged residents, particularly the youth and women, to support Dr. Bongei in his quest to bring transformative change to the county.
They expressed confidence that under his leadership, Bomet would witness improved governance, equitable development, and restoration of public trust in the county government.
As the 2027 elections approach, this endorsement signals a shift in momentum and sets the stage for what promises to be a dynamic political race in Bomet.
