Your say: Raila Odinga terms Sh6.8b Jubilee water project ‘tunnels of death’

Conventional wisdom teaches that: “If you have to keep a secret, it’s because you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” I am certain close to 100 per cent of loudmouths blogging in support of the government haven’t heard of this project till yesterday. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of the messenger. BastionOfPeace

I support the government on the project and I first heard about it when the first concerns were raised in Murang’a. Just because you waited for Raila to discover it for you doesn’t mean the others are so nuanced? Murage James

How can something that has been discussed by Murang’a county government be a secret? Or is it because Raila has said so? FowlerD

The rest of the country that is affected by the down flow is not aware. This amounts to conspiracy! I mean we are suffering floods every year because we are barred from constructing dams in these rivers because of a 1928 treaty to ensure Nile waters can reach Egypt but cannot see the fate of fellow Kenyans downstream! Joseph Makau

Pathetic politics. Why launch a project and four years later claim it’s bad for the nation. Did anyone hold a gun on you to launch it? I am all for genuine environmental concerns but acting holy and righteous to gain political mileage is not cool. I won’t be surprised if Baba wakes up one day and denies that his name is Raila. Sanity

I believe if it is true that the World Bank considers this project a risk to sustainable development of the region then more needs to be done to convince the public that there is no need to be alarmed. I understand that people like Duale will see politics in anything but let’s not vilify the man. Let’s render him irrelevant using independently established scientific assessment. It’s never politics all the time. This nation is a signatory to the Stockholm Declaration and has the honor to host an international environmental agency. Kyle

Just Google the northern water collection tunnels. It’s one and the same with Nairobi water. Karibu2009

World Bank has minimum standards before they can finance any project. Tafakari

Just don’t fool the public that because Raila launched the project so it is good and the concerns being raised by the same man can be swept under the carpet. Raila is just a man and not god and he can be wrong. Just address the issues raised. Samburu

As usual the 36 bloggers have already filled this space with insults instead of answering a simple question. Is the project detrimental to the environment and communities or not? Lord of Nyama
