Community Name & History

The community's name is derived from the first person to establish a business in the area whose name was Chembulet Sawe.

The major inhabitants are Keiyos/Elgeiyos of the larger Kalenjin Community and other tribes from every part of the country. The Kalenjins are believed to have migrated from south Sudan with other Nilotic ethnic groups.
