 Water.

The government will expand and redesigned Itare dam, Posta dam, Soin- Koru, Itare-Litein water supply and Londiani dams to accommodate and serve thousands of Kericho residents with enough water supply. 
The Principal Secretary PS State Department for Water & Sanitation and Irrigation Dr. Paul Rono said Itare dam in Nakuru will be remodeled to supply about 20 percent of its water to Kipkelion East in Kericho. 
The PS who held a water consultative meeting today together with leaders from Kericho who included Kericho governor Dr Erick Mutai, Kericho County women representative Ms. Beatrice Kemei, Ainamoi Legislator Benjamin Langat, Soin Sigowet M.P. Justice Kemei said that Itate-Litein Water supply project will also be upgraded to supply more water to parts of Kaplong’, Kapakatet and Litein in Bureti sub County.
The PS who was also accompanied by Lake Victoria South Water Works Chairperson Mr. Odoyo Owidi and the Kericho County Commissioner CC Mr. Michael Lesimam urged the leadership of Kericho and the residents to encourage the youth to come with tree nurseries especially the indigenous trees where the government will purchase the seedlings adding that the projection for Kericho County is to plant more than 10 million trees seedling every year in order to help combating climate change.
 Dr. Rono observed that, the country was increasingly becoming water scarce and efforts to restore wetlands, water springs and conserve the existing water bodies and rivers should be enhanced through active reforestation programs where individuals, communities and institutions can jointly participate.
Speaking to the press outside governor’s office, PS Rono reiterated that they have revived an orthodox reaction to the illegal water peddlers and those who steal water in the county leaving residents with unanswered outcry. 
“We will ensure that every household in the Country gets access to reliable and adequate supply of clean water to enhance better living and help in boosting animal and crop production” Dr Rono Said. 
Meanwhile he helped in launching a Water Police Unit to oversee the curbing of water wastage and illegal water connection which was depriving many residents from getting enough water in their households. 
The PS also said that other small dams and non-dam water points will be constructed across the country in order to encourage more water supply to communities in the country which will assist in realizing the President’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
The Kericho governor Dr Erick Mutai who spoke at the function reaffirmed their commitments as a county to the national government projects citing that, they have signed a credible Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) with the State Department, Ministry of Water & Sanitation and Irrigation and they are welcoming PPP sectors to join them.
On the same page, the county boss sends a stern warning to any contractor who deliberately fails to complete projects awarded to them, the same sentiments were also echoed by the Water PS Dr Paul Ronoh. 
Ends,

Raphinha There were subplots aplenty heading into this intriguing first El Clásico of the season – the first for Kylian Mbappé and Hansi Flick on either side of the divide in Spanish football’s biggest rivalry. Mbappé was striving to make an early impression, and Barça had their blushes twice spared by the linesman’s flag, as the Frenchman saw an effort skim the side netting, before he teed up Jude Bellingham with a close-range effort which was clawed away by Iñaki Peña in the opening exchanges. The France captain also reacted to a Pau Cubarsí error with a long-range shot that just cleared the crossbar.
