Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) has restocked Turkwel Dam with 150,000 fingerlings to promote fish farming and nutrition.

Speaking at the dam, KVDA chairperson Mark Chesergon said for the past six months, the state corporation has been restocking fingerlings, after the community raised concern over the depreciation of fish.
