GARISSA RESIDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM A NEW 1,500 ACRE IRRIGATION SCHEME

Garissa residents are set to benefit from a new 1,500-acre irrigation scheme, which will tap water from the River Tana to enable area residents interested in crop farming to venture in the sector and increase food production both in the county and nationally. The Bulla Adey Irrigation Scheme in Kora Kora, which will be second in the county after the 1000-acre Raole Canal irrigation scheme in Balambala, will also create an opportunity for farmers who want to transition from livestock to crop farming.
