The construction of approximately Sh3 billion Kirandich Dam Phase two water project in Baringo County which had stalled for seven years has commenced in earnest.
The project encompasses the development of a sewerage and water treatment for Kabarnet town, enlargement of dam spillway, protection of reservoir from siltation through construction of check dams and water supply for Kabarnet and neighbouring Kabartonjo town.
The Kirandich project is being implemented with the funding from the Italian government in cooperation with the government of Kenya and undertaken by Cospin company.
Speaking during a field verification visit of the development project, Secretary in the office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary (PCS) Alfred Diru said that upon completion, the project will enable approximately 60,000 people in Baringo Central and Baringo North Sub Counties to access portable water supply and enable another 20,000 people to access sanitation services within Kabarnet town's Central Business District.
