WILLIAM BORUETT PENS DOWN ANOTHER BOOK
The renowned writer, William Kipyegon Boruett, has penned down another book. The writer, previously famous for writing children story books, has this time round gone further to weave up a magnificent book reflecting pertinent issues he has come across over the past sixty or so years of his life that he says are attributable to the benevolent hand of God. He rightfully titles the book, The Hand of God. Mr. Boruett, who ails from Baringo County, is known for writing four books; Give the Devil His Due, KCPE Revision Mathematics, Greedy Tumbo and Joy the Unwanted Child. The new book is a biography which extols the virtues of hard work, creativity, generosity, kindness, courage, wisdom, selflessness and above all integrity. The power of prayer both in times of plenty and adversity is emphasized and the importance of education as the best gift a parent can bequeathed his or her child stressed. Mr. Boruett is currently working on the book, 'Cancer Not a Death Sentence', a collection of captivating personal stories from outstanding personalities.
THE BEAUTY OF THE TUGEN CULTURE
The Tugen sub-tribe of the Kalenjin Community resides at the floor of the Rift Valley stretching from Koibatek Hills in the South to Ng’orra in the North. It occupies the present day Baringo County, Kenya. Prior to the coming of the white man in the 18th Century, the community lived a tight society with elaborate cultural norms, which were strictly adhered to without any regard to one’s status or age. Today, some of those cultural norms have dissipated but most are still explicitly noticeable in the community. The community, just as it was then, continues to value specifically the role of marriages, which they take as the genesis of life and relations. Majority of the ceremonies spring from and revolve around the conception of the child. The family without a child is thought to bring that family lineage to a dead end; without anybody to carry on with the mantle and family name to posterity. Read More>

JOURNALISM TOO IS A PROFESSION
There cannot be any doubt that the world today is heavily dependent on information for development. Information gathered professionally, synthesized correctly and disseminated on time is able has the ability to assist in improving on productivity.
But is a website such as this one capable of doing what big size mainstream media can do - information, education and communication?
We say yes because those who man it have the requisite academic and professional credentials to undertake the task diligently and to the reader's expectation.
Journalism, like medicine, teaching or law, is a profession and it is not right for anybody to engage in it without formal training. This is because such a person, as surely as day follows night, will sooner, rather than later, cause death or bring disrepute to the profession.
Professional journalism demands responsibility and fairness to all parties all the time.
Also, the timeliness of stories, the human interest, proximity of events, consequence and personalities invovled are the cardinal points to look when writing a story.
We hope that it is not overstretching our imagination too far to ask you to rely on us for all your news.
WHY THIS INTERNET SITE NOW
In the days gone by, rural residents, those of Eldama Ravine included, especially the elders, relied on social places for their news.
They exchanged their views and updated themselves on current affairs of the day.
Then, there was humble time to listen to long stories that were not in a hurry to reach their end.
However, with the exigencies of work, hard economic times, advent of technology and the recent phenomenon of insecurity, such social events are no longer tenable.
People, of various ages and social standings are relying more and more on the internet and other social media channels for their news source.
It was for this reason mainly that we came up with the Koibatek News.
Instead of the reader wasting the whole day searching for news, the internet becomes the ideal source of news - current or otherwise.
We will allocate just a few people to gather the news on your behalf at a small cost. Hence, the reader will have nothing to worry about; just to continue with his/her day to day activities only to visit www.lonka.yolasite.com at one's convenient time to be updated on the days events.
Rest assured that quality news will be gathered, synthesize and disseminated to you appropriately.

BENONIN/KABIYET WATER PROJECT
The Project is based at Kabiyet location, Eldama Ravine, Baringo County. It is a community initiated project geared towards provision of clean water to about 3,000 families and their livestock.
The Project presently distributes water to the nine (9) villages of the location namely: Luita, Kabiyet, Tabare, Sinende, Kokwembe, Sosion, Benonin, Tulwomoi and Kaplelechwa. There are advanced plans to extend the service to Sogonin.
The management committee promises effective service to all the consumers. It has approached the Constituency Development Fund and the County Government of Baringo for support especially acquisition of pipes and has reported very favourable response.
If this works, then the consumers will be enabled to expand their agricultural activities to drip irrigation.
The proximity of the location to the Eldama Ravine town and the resilience of the residents in farming are bound to heighten agricultural activities not only in Eldama Ravine sub-county but ultimately the whole of the County and adjacent areas.
The management however calls on all the consumers to pay their water bills on time in order to ensure sustainable water supply.
With a keen eye, you will have probably noticed the 'No Posters' inscription in most buildings in Eldama Ravine especially after the business owners and landlords were required by the Baringo County Government to paint their premises first as a prerequisite for issuance of licences.
Before long, there would be nowhere to pin one's poster irrespective of how important the message is that is intended to convey. Understandably, the premise owners are keen to keep them clean all the time. The glue and sometimes white flour used make the buildings dirty.
Before long, there is going to be a conflict between the one who wants to place the poster on the wall and the owner of the building.
In foreseeing this unealthy state of affairs, we have created the 'wall' for you to 'place' your poster without any problem. What you need to do is to give us the poster and we shall place it in our 'wall', - www.lonka.yolasite.com at a small fee and it will reach your audience in good time and appropriately.
What we are proposing is nothing new because the art of adversiting can be traced back to thousand of years when cave painting was the art of the moment. Greeks and Romans made widespread use of advertisements through criers who went through city streets making publicity pronouncements of the existing goods and services of the time.
The mainstream newspapers in Kenya today - the Nation, the Standard, the Star, the People and the East African - all peg their existence on advertisements.
