Kinamba Water Project Bringing Economic Benefits
Kinamba Water Project, in Githiga Ward, is set for completion by September 2022.
Once completed, the project is expected to serve about 2,000 households with clean water for domestic and commercial use.
The project comprises four boreholes and a 29km reticulation network to serve the citizens of Kinamba town and its environs. The project was co-financed by KDSP and Laikipia County Government through Nanyuki Water and Sanitation Company who are also supervising its implementation.
Citizens in Kinamba town are already accessing water and two institutions - LHS Ndindika and Ng'arua Dairy Cooperative Society Limited are benefitting from the project.
Availability of water has begun attracting investors in the area who previously shied away from putting their money in a place that has water problems.
Other projects underway include the Wangwaci Dam and Ilpolei Dam projects, both financed through the Infrastructure Bond. Once completed, these projects will provide about 630 farmers with efficient systems to implement irrigated agriculture for improved production.
Water is an economic enabler that interconnects major phases of any economy. Places that lack water lag behind in matters development compared to where there is enough water for consumption and production.
