“The construction of Yokot and Etio dams in Elgeyo Marakwet will ensure an adequate supply of water for home use, livestock and irrigation. The two dams will cumulatively benefit more than 15,000 farmers, creating over 2,000 direct jobs in the area,” said Ruto. KVDA Managing Director Sammy Naporos, said that in a bid to mitigate climate change, they are undertaking 71 water projects in Samburu, Turkana, West Pokot, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo and Marsabit counties that have been hit hard by drought and water scarcity over the years. “We are creating resilience among the communities by ensuring there is adequate water supply for domestic and livestock use and irrigation. Most of these dams were colonial and are fully silted, hence denying communities water. But we are rehabilitating them and connecting the water directly to residents,” stated Naporos.
