In 2022 the nation of Kenya will hold a general election. Migori County is one of the most populous counties in the country.

The Kenyan government under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta promised to completely eradicate female genital mutilation in the country by 2022.

Serikali ya Kenya chini ya uongozi wa Rais Uhuru Kenyattaa iliahidi kuangamiza kabisa tabia ya ukeketaji wa wanawake hapa nchini ifikapo mwaka wa 2022. Mwanahabari wetu Philip Miyawa alitembelea vijiji vya Kuria katika county ya Migori ambapo tabia hii bado imekita mizizi miongoni mwa jamii na kutathmini juu ya uwezekano wa jamii hiyo kuwachana na mila hii potovu ifikapo mwaka ujao.

Kwa miaka na mikaka jamii ya wakuria wanaoishi mpakani mwa Kenya na Tanzania wameishi kama Ndugu. Lakini visa vya hivi majuzi vya wakuria kutoka upande Wa Kenya kuvamiwa nchini Tanzania wanapovuka mpaka kuingia katika taifa  hilo  jirani vinatishia kusambaratisha undugu kati ya jamii hiyo inayotenganishwa  na mpaka.

Baada ya bei ya mafuta kupanda hapa nchini, wakaazi wa kaunti ya Migori inayopakana na Taifa la Tanzania sasa wameamua kuvuka mpaka hadi taifa hilo jirani kununua mafuta hiyo kwa bei nafuu jambo linalosemekana kuathiri pakubwa biashara ya mafuta katika county hiyo.
