Some 400 residents and pupils of two schools in Barwessa, Baringo County have a reason to smile after the government commissioned a Sh9.8 million water project in the area.
Barwessa in Baringo North Sub County is basically an arid zone, and water shortage has been a big problem in the area, with some residents being forced to trek for up to 10 kilometres in search of the precious commodity.
However, they can now breathe a sigh of relief, courtesy of a water kiosk at Barwessa Secondary school, benefiting the school fraternity and also members of the nearby community.
The project was commissioned Friday by the State Department for Irrigation PS Ephantus Kimotho and the Baringo North Member of Parliament Joseph Makilap to the jubilation of the area residents and the learners of both Barwessa secondary and Barwessa primary school.
