President William Ruto's campaign promise to have 1,000 dams constructed across the country may not be achieved since not a single unit has been completed in almost three years into his leadership.

Water Cabinet Secretary Erick Mugaa, who appeared before the Senate plenary, told Senators that most of the planned dam projects were to be done through the Public Private Partnership, which has yet to attract potential investors.
