More than 200 residents of Napuu village, Lodwar, say the Napuu irrigation scheme will save Turkana from hunger and starvation. Farmer Peter Ejore of Napuu village said the Napuu irrigation scheme has the potential to feed all residents in Turkana if it’s well utilised. No one is supposed to die from hunger in Turkana because they have the potential to grow crops for food security, he said. Farmer Esther Lochodo said since KVDA came up with the Napuu irrigation scheme, residents have benefited from clear water, electricity and enough food. KVDA regional manager Samuel Kigen said the Napuu irrigation scheme is a pilot scheme to make the Turkana residents realize the importance of agriculture.
