The government plans to spend Sh100 billion every year over the next decade in an ambitious programme to provide water, an official has said.

Water and Irrigation Principal Secretary Fred Segor said the country currently has 124 million cubic litres of water against the required 3.5 billion cubic litres, a deficit he says needs to be resolved in the next 10 years.
