Leaders from West Pokot and Turkana counties, led by the Cabinet Secretary for East African Community, ASALs and Regional Development, Hon. Beatrice Askul Moe, held a high-level public participation forum in the Turkwel area, West Pokot County, to sensitize local communities on the proposed Lower Turkwel Irrigation Project.
The irrigation initiative has been identified as a critical enabler for unlocking the vast productive potential of the ASAL regions. Once implemented, thousands of hectares of land will be put under irrigation to boost food security, create employment opportunities, and support sustainable livelihoods for communities in both West Pokot and Turkana counties.
