The government will fund irrigation projects in Murang’a as part of the compensation for the water the county provides Nairobi. Water and Irrigation PS Joseph Wairagu said as a major source of the water used in the capital, it was important that the county also benefits from the commodity, through irrigation, among other projects.
“The Government has already allocated funds to some of the projects to enable residents to produce enough food and also have enough water for other uses, including domestic,” the PS said.
