Mwache Dam Project Transitioned to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation

The Mwache Multi-Purpose Dam Project was officially transitioned from the State Department for Irrigation to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, under the leadership of Principal Secretary Eng. Julius Korir, CBS, and Water Secretary Eng. Samwel Alima.

This transition aims to enhance coordination, strengthen oversight, and align the project with national water sector priorities. This move marks a major milestone in accelerating project implementation and amplifying its impact on water security, climate resilience, and socio-economic development across the coastal region.

The Mwache Multi-Purpose Dam is a flagship infrastructure project designed to enhance water supply for Mombasa and Kwale counties, support irrigation, and mitigate flooding. It plays a critical role in promoting sustainable resource management and improving livelihoods in one of Kenya’s most water-scarce regions.
