AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The government is exploring options to avert total loss of funds channeled into the stalled Sh34 billion Itare dam project in Ndoinet, Nakuru County.<\/p>\n

Cluster five of the National Development Implementation Committee comprising Principal Secretaries from different ministries toured the project yesterday, two years after its construction ground to a halt.<\/p>\n

Led by Tourism PS Safina Kwekwe, the State officials said the government was committed to ensuring taxpayers do not suffer loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen the extent to which the project has been done and the challenges that faced it since its inception. The government intends to find a way out for the project to be beneficial to Kenyans,\u201d Kwekwe said.<\/p>\n

Other PSs present were Peter Tum (Labour), Peter Kirimi (Mining) and Simon Nabukwesi (University Education) and Deputy Head of Public Service Wanyama Musyambo.<\/p>\n

They assessed other national government projects including tarmacking of Mauche-Bombo-Olenguruone Road and Ngala Special School.<\/p>\n

Among the options the government has on Itare dam include use of a financial guarantee to source funds for the resumption of its construction.<\/p>\n

Already, Sh27 billion had been released to the contractor but there is very little to show, three years after the deal was signed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
