Central Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency yesterday joined the President of the Republic of Kenya, H.E William Ruto and other Kenyans in supporting goat farming in Baringo County during the annual Kimalel Goat Auction at Kimalel Grounds Baringo County.

The Baringo County 9th annual Kimalel Goat Auction and cultural festival, themed "Harmony of Heritage: celebrating unity in diversity", saw more than 3,000 hybrid goats sold.

The Agency's chairman Hon. Ndiritu Mathenge, director Hon. Dr. Daniel Tuitoek and the acting Chief Executive Officer CPA. Douglas Murei was in attendance.
