Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi on Thursday hosted Water Cabinet Secretary Eric Murithi Mugaa at the county headquarters to discuss collaboration on water access and irrigation expansion in the region.
The talks were aimed at enhancing the supply of water for domestic and agricultural use to boost food production. "This collaboration is a crucial step in the county's continued efforts to enhance infrastructure and strengthen the local economy through sustainable development," said Governor Wamatangi.
After the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary toured the Rwabura Irrigation Project in Gatundu South Constituency.
The project, initially commissioned by President William Ruto on February 16, 2024, factors in the construction of intake and sedimentation basins, as well as a conveyance system for the Rwabura and Thiririka rivers.
