Water Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui has said construction of dams will continue across the country despite the ongoing probe. “The problems you are aware of are merely procedures followed, but the dam projects will continue, they are the future of Kenya,” the CS added. Chelugui disclosed that his ministry will address the acute shortage of water facing public institutions by sinking boreholes for them. He said Lake Victoria North Water Services Board was implementing the construction of an Sh7.7 billion Keben water dam to solve water problems in Kapsabet, Nandi-Hills and Baraton University water. “We are aware that Nandi county despite being a key water source for our major towns in the Western faces shortage of clean water,” Chelugui added.
