Kapsabet is a town in Kenya. It is the capital of Nandi County and is located 40 kilometers southwest of Eldoret on the way to Chavakali.
The name Kapsabet comes from "Kap"- 'belong to/area of' and "sabit" or "sobet" - 'live' and has come to mean 'a place of life'[2] though external influences and documentation refer it as Kapsabet. The locals praise it as 'Kapsabit ak mego'. Kapsabet municipality has a total population of 86,803 (2009 census).
Ethnicity and language
Kapsabet municipality has a total population of 86,803 (2009 census). The majority of residents belong to the Nandi section of the Kalenjin ethnic group. There is also a substantial number of Maragoli, Tiriki (both subtribes of Luhya). Gussi, Somali, Indians and also Luo's are residents of the town
Religion
Kapsabet is predominantly a Christian town. Major churches include AIC Kapsabet, CITAM (Christ Is The Answer Ministries) St Peters' Catholic Parish, ACK St Barnabas, and Seventh Day Adventist church.
The town is also home to a thriving community of members of the Islam and Hindu. In fact, there are three mosques, one in the town, another in Kamobo just outside the town and one in Surungai estate opposite the Chebut tea factory. Most Muslims are Sunni.
Administration
Kapsabet Town was previously the headquarters of the then Kapsabet Municipality which was run by the Municipal Council. It was last headed at the civic level by His Worship Councilor Michael Rono and at the executive level by Mr. Shedd D. Simotwo, the Town Clerk.
Today the town acts as the headquarters of Nandi County. The first county administration was headed by Cleophas Lagat, who served from 2013 to 2017. As of 2017 the county administration has been headed by the governor, Hon Stephen Arap Sang.

The Nandi county government inherited about 400 acres from the defunct Kapsabet Municipal Council, on which it plans to build an industrial park, a marketplace and some houses.

Let's journey together!
I dream of Kenya having 47 cities representing 47 counties. Small towns grow into big towns to cities.
We are on the right Track.
May the Almighty God bring that dream into reality Amen.

There are some places in Kenya when I hear them mentioned I think of post election violence and mayhem then I get jitters. Wacha nizeeke Nairobi.
Does the same happen when you hear naivasha and kisumu?
you realize more people died in nairobi
What is the main attraction? Give a reason to get on a plane and travel to this city.
Kanya is beautiful, but when you look through the country Infrastructures, you can see clear that the country development was very influence by Indians.. Just like must Africa Countries, where you find foreign settlement.. They change the development on such country.
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nairobi, Angola, Mozambique, but in East Africa, Kanye was Influenced by Indians including even their Food, Tanzania, too show influence from Arabs,..
But Rwanda and Ethiopia, and a few more country around Eastern Africa, Developed by Africans.
DO Molo for us
Spoiling us with weekly uploads 😅
Kenya have bitter future and growing cities from somaliland
Country is on the Move
