Kipngorom residents yesterday requested the government to build a maternity room in there location in order to encourage hospital delivery in the area.
Elizabeth Sokome, a resident in the area said at a baraza attended by the deputy county commissioner in Baringo county, Mr Okwanyo, that most women prefer traditional delivery done by the midwives as the neighbouring maternity wards are at a distant.
Sokome added that sick patients are carried on shoulders and through local arrangements due to poor transport system in the interior parts of the area where there are no vehicles which can access the area.
Kipngorom location in Mogotio division, is an extension of Mogotio sub-county at the border between Eldama Ravine and Tenges sub-counties. It is a semi-arid hilly area situated near the famous Perkerra river.
Due to its terrain, the area is prone to landslides thus people in Kapterit sub location and Tiani village should vacate the Land to a safer place to avoid the menace during the expected elnino rains,Okwanyo advised. However, he said that elnino rains have also positive impacts such as increased harvest.
Among the present guests in the baraza were Asst. County Commissioner Andrew Gavuredi Baringo, OCBD Mogotio sub-county Patrick Nyangaruso and Laban Shirandula DCIO, Mogotio sub- county
