Famous "Mangula" Area to Chemororoch Recreational Facility

Uasin Gishu Governor H.E Jonathan Bii throws his weight behind the proposal by a section of elected leaders and residents to change the name of a section of River Sosiani that was initially used as a hideout for a criminal gang in Eldoret town.

The famous "Mangula" area to be named Chemororoch recreational facility after the completion of a planned rehabilitation and clean-up exercise that will be done by the devolved unit and other environmental stakeholders.

For more than one decade the notorious Mangula has been popular with rampant cases of muggings, murders, and other criminal activities executed by criminals who were pretending to be street families on the shows of river Sosiasi.

Recently Mangula was in the headlines once again for the wrong reason after a group of armed young people believed to be operating from the place caused mayhem attacking and stealing goods from traders and besides, destroying vehicles.

Governor Bii assured genuine traders and residents that his administration will ensure the river and surrounding environment are cleaned up and made safe for the public and also for tourism purposes.

Governor Bii added that the area will be turned into a recreational facility and given a new name; Chemororoch which he said is more attractive not only to tourists and locals but also to investors as the town gears to become a city.
