Alice Wahome","speaker_title":"The Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, for the Question. First, we have a project worth Kshs4.4 billion for irrigation. The location is Kuywa, Runyu, Tongaren, Webuye. Bungoma County has a water source at River Nzoia. We are rethinking of how to improve that particular project and expand the irrigation scheme around that area using gravity flow. We are at a very advanced stage. The intake requires a new chamber; four head pumps, intake chamber and conveyance pipelines. There is a lot of work that we have planned for that. The feasibility study is complete. That is for purposes of irrigation. I do not know which project you are referring to, but we have Angololo Trans-boundary Water Project for Kenya and the Nile Basin countries. It is one of the major projects in Western Kenya going for about Kshs8 billion."}
