Water in Kenya

Early this year, water was scarce, there was draught and Unga was a trending topic in  #Kenya . From March this year the story changed and there was arguably the highest rainfall recorded in decades. There were floods in almost every part of this country  and land slides in central Kenya. The story of Unga change to bounty harvest  and Low maize prices. Water might be consider and curse and a blessing in Kenya due to lack of sustainable plans to manage it in wet and dry season. Water harvesting , recycling and proper usage should be as important as any infrastructure project. It is a resource that cause disunity as experienced from Murang'a and Nairobi tassle over Ndakaini. If water is properly used by both urban users and farmer, the Johannesburg water scarcity story will be fictional tale to us.
