    In absence of corruption and bad politics, Kenya can do marvelous things. The same tenacity should be replicated in other infrastructure like roads, buildings and bridges.

    I love this,Chams! I think similar Kenyan engineers could have done those simple dams (Kimwarer and Itare) whose monies the Treasury moghuls (Rotich and Thugge et etc) ate with the Italians! There is enough local talent and technical uwezo!

    We need to use oil revenues to harvest sea water and build deslaination plants at lamu, malindi and mombasa and pipe the water to all counties all the way to nairobi and its neigbouring counties and the malindi and lamu desalination plant to pipe water to the northern counties mandera, garrissa, wajir, isiolo , nanyuki, nakuru to rift valley and the malindi to share the same pipeline as lamu but have somewhere in isiolo a deviation pipeline going from isiolo, meru nanyuki and connecting to this tunnel for more volume of water to feed kiambu, limuru, nakuru and onwards to riftvalley counties . Then harvest the turkana aquifires and provide water for turkana and pokot and baringo and the remaining for irrigation in Turkana. The most expensive part of desalination plants is electricti to power the desal plants and power the pipelines to move water. What kenya is blessed with is renewables. An investor wanted to put up a wind farm in malindi for 600mw, lamu has plans for 90mw and more plus the coast has alot of sun for solar. So we can have a high breed desal plants running on wind and solar and for powering the water through the pipes. Plus the nortthern counties have plenty of sunshine for solar that can power water boosters to push the water to have continous flow.

      @@EngPKiarie but i guess we find ways to pump oil all the way to eldoret from mombasa and now we are going to pump oil all the way from turkana to lamu and infact the oil is heavy waxy oil that solidifies when it comes into contact with the outside elements thus has to be melted or passed through hitted pipelines but we can not do this with water an easier product to transport via pipelines?

    In Kenya if you ever hear designed by Kenyans and supervised by Kenyans that is already a failed project. This was a partnership between Chinese & Kenyan engineers. In Kenya we have no experience in drilling such a tunnel. In my opinion this project would have been given to the Chinese who handover projects even before the estimated completion date. It's now February which confirms you cannot believe anything a Kenyan tells you in terms of project completion. Simon Chelgui uwache uongo and apologize to thirsty Kenyans.
