Drought devastates maize crop in Trans Nzoia - July 2026

A severe drought has caused widespread devastation to the maize crop in Trans Nzoia County, with farmers reporting significant losses that threaten the region's agricultural output and food security. In a separate development, families residing near Nakuru National Park are living in fear following repeated attacks by baboons that have been leaving the park, intruding into homes, and causing injuries and property damage. The Kenyan government is also planning to leverage the substantial assets held by SACCOs to finance major infrastructure developments, aiming to unlock trillions of shillings for the country's next generation of mega projects.
