Trans Nzoia County is grappling with an increase in sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) made worse by its location along the Kenya-Uganda border.
According to Judiciary data, Trans Nzoia recorded 1,016 cases in 2025, with 704 concluded through the courts, up from 991 cases in 2024 when 339 were successfully resolved.
