Kirandich Catchment Conservation in Baringo County, silt and sedimentation control using check dams. It is key to note that water comes from the catchment and not a tap and has a cost implication to get it to consumer’s residence. Payment of water bills guarantee sustainability.

Today, I conducted a thorough inspection of the Galana Kulalu Food Security Project in Kilifi and Tana River Counties. The project comprises several components, each at varying stages of completion. The project includes the construction of intake works, consisting of an intake well, a pump house, five low-lift pumps (four operational and one standby), and a 1600 mm delivery pipe connected to the canal inlet structure. Additionally, it involves the development of a 753-meter-long inlet canal, a reservoir with a storage capacity of 450,000 cubic meters, a 1,210-meter-long outlet canal designed for a normal flow of 6.94 cubic meters per second and a full flow of 9.32 cubic meters per second, and an off-take sump with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters. Overall progress stands at 99.7%, with the remaining tasks being expedited to meet the established timelines. Upon completion, the project will bolster national food security by optimizing productivity on the ranches through targeted investments in crop and livestock production, aligning with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). Following the site visit, I convened a consultative meeting with key stakeholders and agencies involved in the project’s implementation. These included government institutions such as the National Irrigation Authority (NIA), Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), and Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC), as well as private entities like Selu, the Korean Solar Power Consortium, contractors CRBC and Irrico, consultants BeAssociates, and other investors. We agreed that each team would accelerate their respective components to ensure completion as scheduled. Additionally, we committed to conducting regular site visits to monitor progress as we prepare to commence cropping in mid-May.

Site visit to Mwea Irrigation Scheme to access progress on expansion to Mutithi Area. Upon completion of the canals, we will irrigate an extra 4,400 acres to bring total area under production to 35,000 acres. We encouraged the farmers to farm 2 seasons a year to increase the yield from 150,000MT a season to about 300,000MT a year.
