On the Irrigation Act, Attorney General Githu Muigai is correct

On March 22, this year by a legal notice which was published in a Kenya Gazette Supplement, Attorney General Githu Muigai effectively reversed an earlier Kenya Gazette notice which had repealed the Irrigation Act, Chapter 347 of the Laws of Kenya.

The Attorney General (AG) termed the earlier repeal of the Irrigation Act “an error” and by publishing this notice he, in effect, restored the repealed Act back into the statute books. That means that the Irrigation Act, under which the National Irrigation Board (NIB) operates, is still in existence.
