Mimi kama mkulima wa mpunnga - hii ni good news kabisa.

This was supposed to be completed like yesterday!

Thiba Dam once complete shall double rice production in Mwea from 80,000MT to 160,000metric tonnes & increase land under irrigation up to 30,000acres #WaterHarvesting #InfrastructureTransformation towards #FoodSecurity https://t.co/eHLMRfowTc

Cool stuff. What happened to the other dam, that was to be constructed in Embu, by the Kibaki Administration ?
It was said to so massive, that, it’d change the climate of the Area .

Sweetie atoe hio pete, inatuvuja muoyo

It was re-tendered, it had been overinflated at the last days of former President Kibaki tenure. From $500 million to $600 million without any increase of civil works to warrant it. The financier China Exim Bank flagged it and halted it. Wanjigi in the works.

Is it still in the pipeline, ama ?

Yes. Timeline is sketchy. It depends on Treasury.

true

Recycle, this was approved during kibaki days and we were to work there after upgrading water canal in mwea with china hebei construction.

Sweetie ako tu sawa

This is what saw Martha lose Mwea votes.
