Eddy Oketch, the Senator for Migori County, is asking for a list of landowners who granted relief to Lower Kuja Irrigation Development Project in Nyatike Sub County and indicate the respective amounts due to each as compensation. In 2009, the National Irrigation Board (NIB), now the National Irrigation Authority (NIA), commenced the process of implementing the Lower Kuja Irrigation Project starting with the feasibility studies and detail design. A total 19,292 acres were identified for irrigation. This was done by three agencies. GIBB Africa Limited, Gidio Consultants and the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning identified and valued parcels of land required for construction of the irrigation infrastructure. A total of 2,790 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) were identified with a total valuation of Kshs206,014,719.80. To date, the NIA has compensated 1,273 PAPs and paid a total of Kshs77,313,863, with a balance of Kshs128,700,856 for land belonging to 1,517 PAPs. The list is attached.
