    "content": "(b) Lake Turkana is a trans-boundary water resource that is shared between Kenya and Ethiopia. In order to sustainably manage the shared water resource like Lake Turkana Basin, there is need to put in place a co-operative framework as an agreement between Kenya and Ethiopia for the sustainable management of the Lake and the rivers feeding it. To that end, my Ministry, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has initiated the negotiation process with Ethiopia in order to develop a co-operative framework that will enable Kenya and Ethiopia to jointly regulate the use of River Omo that will lead to the releasing of more waters from the dams in River Omo to restore the level of Lake Turkana to a sustainable level. The negotiations are expected not to take longer than three years. While the process, that will soon be concluded, is going on, my Ministry, through the Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA) has undertaken several intervention measures to address catchment degradation of Rivers Turkwel and Kerio on the Kenyan side, which are also sources of water to Lake Turkana."
