Ruto: We are reviving Sh63 billion Arror and Kimwarer dam projectsPresident William Ruto has revealed plans for the implementation of the controversial Sh63 billion Arror and Kimwarer multipurpose dams that have been hit by scandals that led to the suspension and prosecution of key government officials linked to the scandal. The Arror and Kimwarer dams were part of the Kenya Kwanza pre-election campaign tool and President William Ruto has in the past repeatedly denied reports that Sh21 billion allocated for the projects was lost. President Ruto said a military camp will be set up in Kerio Valley and two administrative units – Kerio Valley and Kolowa Sub Counties – will be created to crack down on bandits and restore law and order in the insecure counties. He said the current Recruit Training School (RTS) in Eldoret will be relocated to Kerio Valley as part of the intensified multi-agency fight against banditry. He unveiled a number of measures to strengthen the agriculture sector to increase crop productivity and achieve food security, as well as protect the landslide-prone Kerio Valley escarpment.
