A 7-day curfew was issued following violence between communities, with homes torched

Narok County is navigating a complex landscape of security crises and public health emergencies while rolling out a massive development agenda. Following deadly ethnic clashes along the Nakuru border that led to a 7-day curfew in September 2025, the county is simultaneously combating a cholera outbreak in Kilgoris that has claimed several lives. Against this tense backdrop, Governor Patrick Ntutu’s administration is pushing forward with ambitious plans: a target to raise KSh 6 billion in own-source revenue, a KSh 450 million bursary fund for 45,000 students, and a KSh 150 million market modernization program. The county has also recruited 700 new staff in health, education, and security, launched a 10-year Animal Feeds Strategy, and signed the Village Delineation Bill creating 202 new administrative units. Recent development tours saw the commissioning of roads, maternity wings, and dispensaries in Olposimoru and Olokurto wards, alongside a subsidised livestock vaccination drive. Security remains a priority, with 52 arrests made in Narok town following mysterious killings and a crackdown on illicit bars.
