The proposed Baringo University will be constructed in Kabarnet town after five local MPs agreed on the location.
Eldama Ravine MP Musa Sirma told The Standard that the controversy on the location of the university has ended after five MPs agreed on the matter except one. "We saw that Kabarnet town was an ideal site, because of the availability of land, and construction of the university will help to develop the County headquarters," he said.
Last year, Governor Benjamin Cheboi received a task force report on public views proposing Moi Teachers College in Baringo Central as the ideal location.
The task force report had recommended Moi Teachers College in Seretunin, Baringo Central to host Baringo University College of Technology (BUCT), with Moi University proposed as the mentoring university.
