Kainuk Town Revives as Gold Mining and Trade Boom

Last Updated on March 22, 2025 by Turkana County News Online

Kainuk Town is experiencing a resurgence as security stabilizes, ending years of banditry. Since October, no attacks have been reported, allowing locals to return and embrace gold mining, tourism, and trade.

Previously unsafe roads are now active with security patrols, attracting stopovers and trade. Revenue collection has improved, linking Kainuk to the Northern Corridor and South Sudan Belt.

Leaders urge locals to seize this opportunity for economic growth.
