The Ministry of Interior and National Administration has announced that Baringo County will host a key citizen engagement forum, Jukwaa la Usalama, on Saturday, July 26, 2025, as part of a four-county tour in the North Rift Region, aimed at strengthening public dialogue on national security and development.
According to an official communication from the Office of the Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, the town hall meetings will be held in Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Baringo, and Elgeyo Marakwet Counties from July 23 - July 28, 2025. The Baringo engagement is scheduled for the fourth day of the tour.
The forum will be presided over by Interior Cabinet Secretary Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, EGH, who will engage local leaders, security officials, and citizens on matters affecting peace, governance, and economic development. The discussions will also highlight the government's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and the Ministry’s efforts to improve internal security and service delivery in the region.
"The Ministry has developed a program aimed at engaging citizens and institutions—both state and non-state actors—through town hall meetings across all 47 counties," reads the letter signed by Ms. Tungo Aaron, Chief of Staff.
Baringo leaders, including the Governor, Members of Parliament, and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), have been invited to attend the session and contribute to the ongoing efforts to resolve longstanding insecurity challenges in the county, especially in the Tiaty, Baringo North, and Baringo South sub-counties.
Further details on the specific venue and time of the Baringo meeting are expected to be released by the Ministry in due course. The Ministry has encouraged citizens to attend and voice their views on critical issues affecting the county.
