What you need to know:

  • The Turkana and Pokot have embraced activities that were unheard of not so long ago, such as fishing.
  • There are businessmen and women who have relocated from far off counties to West Pokot, lured by the thriving fishing business.

There is a place called Kosovo, but it is not the one in Southeastern Europe. It is in Kenya, in Riting and Reres areas in West Pokot County.

It was nicknamed Kosovo because of the bloodshed that the community has endured for decades, due to cattle rustling and banditry.
