The 5 stars represent five sub-counties that make up the County of Bomet.

The center of the Arms showcases the current map of Bomet County.

The colours of the flag:
The Blue colour in the map symbolises the great rivers of Bomet County while the green colour symbolises our fertile agricultural land and forest.  Bomet County is a County of Peace, represented in the flag by the central stripe of White.

The Colours of the Kenyan flag inside forming the map of the County in the centre of the Arms are a symbolism of patriotism by the people of Bomet to the Republic of Kenya (Source: this website).
