Construction of dams to quality standards

Deputy President William Ruto has asked constructors to comply with engineering standards for safety while building dams to avert calamities caused by poor workmanship. Ruto said that dams built to store water sometimes failed in some parts of the country with the resulting loss of life, social, economic, financial and environmental losses. He said existing ones should be properly maintained with proper application of the current technology. 'Safety measures should be addressed during construction of dams', Ruto said.

The deputy president, at the same time praised efforts being made by relevant departments to improve rainwater collection and stocking across the country. The deputy president said the building of water dams across the country remains key to empowering farmers and turning their dreams to realities as far as food production was concerned.
