The youths led by Elijah Nyamoi on Tuesday said the dam will ensure there is plenty water in the County to boost operations at industries and factories in the region.
Nyamoi said several youths will be employed at the factories and industries to be set up in the county.
“We are calling on those opposing the project to stop and allow the construction works to start because the dam will be more beneficial to all residents in the County,” he said.
Nyamoi added that Nyamira County government should not keep quiet about the construction of the dam.
“Governor Nyagarama should intervene and help in sensitizing locals where the dam will be constructed on the benefits of the dam,” he stated.
He said it will not be possible for the dam site to be relocated to a different area.
