Iten town, christened ‘Home of Champions’, is no longer the dusty Elgeyo Marakwet County headquarters it once was. The town is now teeming with investment thanks to a Sh89 million facelift financed by the World Bank.
The town’s dusty roads are being tarmacked and parking spaces carpeted with cabbro. A recreational park along the steep escarpment is also being constructed, giving residents the feel of living in a serene environment.
