An Urgent Plea for Justice: The Unpaid Guardian of Nariokotome
To the Hon. Minister of Tourism, our MCA, MP, and His Excellency the Governor of Turkana County,
I write with urgency to bring to your attention the injustice faced by Asekon Loowa Ngitit, a devoted mother who has served for over five years as the guardian of the historic Nariokotome Boy discovery site. She has protected the site, managed access for tourists, and preserved this priceless heritage with dedication—yet for four years, she has not received any payment for her service.
This is not just an administrative oversight but a serious moral failure. As a county that promotes tourism and cultural heritage, it is unacceptable that someone safeguarding such a globally significant site is left unpaid and unheard. Despite repeated visits to offices and appeals for help, her pleas have been met with delays and empty promises.
I respectfully call upon:
The Minister of Tourism to urgently investigate and ensure full payment and compensation.
Our MCA and MP to stand for their constituent and demand accountability.
His Excellency the Governor to intervene and resolve this matter without further delay.
Let us uphold justice, dignity, and respect for those who protect our heritage. This injustice must end now.
For support and feedback, kindly reach out via +254745132168.
Yours sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen
