Government to Revive Sh21 Billion Bosto Dam Project in Bomet County
What happened
Julius Korir stated that the government is planning to revive the construction of the stalled Sh21 billion Bosto Dam in Konoin Subcounty, Bomet County. Korir noted that the dam was considered the only long-term solution to Bomet County’s perennial water shortage. The government discussed the project with representatives of China Exim Bank and the China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA) during recent talks held in China.

The revival of the Bosto Dam is part of a broader push for strategic infrastructure in Kenya. Preparatory activities for the project are set to be fast-tracked to secure financing on concessional terms. The discussions also covered other strategic projects, including the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway and the Nairobi Intelligent Transport System.
