A regional development authority has embarked on massive rehabilitation of water facilities in its areas of jurisdiction which have remained stalled for many decades of their existence.
Among the giant projects identified for implementation and rehabilitation in the counties of Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet are Chemeron dam and Chemorongion water pan in Baringo and Kabuswa dam and Chemugul water pan in Keiyo.
In Baringo, the Authority will spend Sh 400 million to revive the Chemeron dam, which started in 1986 but stalled shortly after its operationalisation.
In the 39 years of neglect, the dam with an original storage capacity of 750,000 m³ used to benefit residents on both the upstream and downstream sides of the project situated in Baringo South.
