Narok County Launches Major Health, Education, and Infrastructure Projects in Olokurto Ward
Narok County Governor Patrick Keturet Ole Ntutu has unveiled a series of transformative development projects in Olokurto Ward, aimed at improving healthcare, education, administration, and road infrastructure within the region.
The Governor began his tour by officially commissioning the Olopirik Dispensary, a facility expected to expand access to quality healthcare for residents of Ilpoton, Olopirik, Waiyarata, Nesongoyo, Medungi, Kamurar, and neighbouring villages. The dispensary will play a critical role in addressing primary health needs in the area.
Strengthening maternal health was also a key highlight of the tour, with the commissioning of a new eight-bed maternity facility and a twin staff house in Entiyani. The new facility is set to enhance safe delivery services and reduce the distance mothers must travel to seek quality maternal healthcare.
In a major administrative milestone, the Governor commissioned the newly constructed Narok North Sub-County offices located in Olokurto Town. The offices are now ready for use and are expected to improve public service delivery across the sub-county.
Road infrastructure also received a significant boost, with 30 kilometers of roads currently undergoing grading and gravelling across the ward. The county has already completed 4 kilometers of road within Olokurto Town. Additional improvements, including the ongoing upgrading of the Eneengetia–Olokurto–Olposimoru Road, are anticipated to ease movement, boost trade, and facilitate the transportation of agricultural produce.
Healthcare expansion continues with the construction of Olokurto Level 4 Hospital, a major investment aligned with the county government’s policy of establishing a Level 4 Hospital in every sub-county. Once complete, the facility will dramatically enhance access to specialized health services.
In the education sector, Governor Ntutu presided over the issuance of Ksh 10.9 million in bursary cheques to 1,715 beneficiaries at Olooserian Mao Secondary School. The bursaries aim to support learners from vulnerable backgrounds and ease the financial burden on families struggling to keep their children in school.
These development projects reflect Narok County’s commitment to improving public services, enhancing livelihoods, and fostering equitable growth across all wards.
