Wajir County is located in the former North Eastern Province of
Kenya, bordering Somalia
and Ethiopia.
Jaume Ollé, 23 Jan 2015
The flag and emblem of Wajir County were approved by the County Assembly on 08 August 2014, according to a notice published in the Kenya Gazette which can be seen here.
The flag comprises five unequal horizontal stripes.
The thin outer two stripes are tawny brown and emerald green, fimbriated in
yellow. The broad central stripe is white charged in the centre
with a yellow crescent moon, reflecting the Islamic character of the county.

Here is a re-construction of the former flag of Wajir
County (2013-2014) which is based on 20 photos. In all cases, the photo showed
the County Governor. The flag would therefore appear to be the flag of the
county government or of the Governor of Wajir County. For general use, the flag
was used without coat of arms.
