@alalmauriceThe construction of the Sh25 billion Koru-Soin multipurpose dam will begin in September, National Water Harvesting Storage Authority chair Erick Okeyo has said. The tender process, Okeyo said, will be concluded in a month after which the site will be handed over to the contractor to start work. He said that the National Environment Management Authority has granted interim approval for the project. “We are working with the National Land Commission to ensure compensation of those to be affected by the project,” Okeyo said. The project will affect 360 parcels of land with 230 and 130 in Kisumu and Kericho counties respectively.
