Governor Samuel Ole Tunai has commissioned the expanded Lolgorian Livestock Market.
The reconstructed Lolgorian market can now hold 1,000 large stock (cattle and donkeys) and 2,500 small stock (sheep and goats) and includes the trading yard as well as sorting yards with a loading rump for herding animals directly into lorries.
Presiding over the opening ceremony at the market today, Governor Tunai noted that the construction has proceeded smoothly over the last seven months in spite of the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Governor further observed that the expanded market will serve as a significant feeder market to other markets such as Aitong, Kapsinendet and Chebunyo markets. “The catchment of livestock for this market includes Kilgoris, Kehancha and areas of Tanzania bordering Transmara West Sub-county” said the Governor.
The new market includes a block of marketing stalls for auxiliary businesses, water harvesting and storage facilities and three latrines.
The project is a collaboration between the County Government of Narok and the State Department for Livestock through the Regional Pastoral Livelihoods Resilience Project (RPLRP).
