Marigat

Marigat is a small town in Baringo County, Kenya.

Its growth is supported by the Perkerra irrigation scheme where onions, pepper, papaws and maize, among other crops, are grown.

Marketing of local products such as honey (enaisho), goat's meat (nkirri), and cultural artifacts is made effective by the surging local and foreign tourists and travellers.

Passengers buy onions, tomatoes, honey, water, melon, bananas, oranges from the Parkerra irrigation scheme as they wait for the bus at the Matatu stage to surprise their families.

Marigat is inhabited by the Tugen (Samor) mainly from the upper regions, i.e. south, southeast and southwest, the Ilchamus mainly from the low regions northwards and the western Pokot communities who are mainly pastoralists.
