Leaders today conducted an inspection of the ongoing Kimuri Dam project in Ngeria Ward, Kapseret Constituency, in a move aimed at assessing progress and reinforcing the government’s commitment to strengthening irrigation and food security in the region.
The visit was led by Kapseret MP Hon. Oscar Sudi, accompanied by Treasury Principal Secretary Dr. Chris Kiptoo and National Irrigation Authority CEO Eng. Charles Muasya. The leaders reviewed the status of the project and engaged with local stakeholders on its expected impact.
Once completed, the Kimuri Dam is expected to significantly boost irrigation in the area, enabling farmers to access a reliable water source for agricultural activities throughout the year. The project is projected to increase crop yields, improve farm productivity, and enhance food security for hundreds of households in Kapseret and neighboring areas.
Speaking during the inspection, the leaders emphasized the importance of investing in water infrastructure to support local farmers and strengthen the country’s agricultural sector. They noted that irrigation projects such as Kimuri Dam are critical in mitigating the effects of unpredictable weather patterns and ensuring sustainable food production.
The dam is also expected to improve livelihoods by expanding farming opportunities, creating economic activity, and supporting the government’s broader agenda of empowering farmers and achieving national food security.
