For many years, Kerio Valley in the North Rift region has been known for rampant cases of insecurity, which have led to the loss of many lives.

However, calm is slowly returning to the region, thanks to peace efforts rolled out in the area by the government and other partners.

A spot-check by The Standard revealed that locals have gone back to their farms thanks to an initiative by the Elgeyo Marakwet County government to distribute water pumps for residents to engage in irrigation to boost food security and their economic livelihoods.
