People’s Assembly
AAE organized a community Peoples Assembly in Mbooni Makueni County to share their grievances with the county government. The emphasis of the assembly was occasioned by perennial water shortage in the areas as a result of drought. Through the CBO, the people voiced about the diminishing agricultural activities in the area due to dried-up dams as a result of too much silt. The following was suggested through A Letter of Action to HE The Governor and area MCA;
- De-siltation of the Utuneni Earth dam and a constructing a check dam up stream to filter silt before water entering the dam.
- Conservation measures at the Utuneni Earth Dam spillway i.e. filling up the gulley with gabions and compacting to prevent further soil erosion and also enhance the stability of the dam.
