    I love this for three reasons. 1. The great work you have done in coming up with such a documentary. 2. The motivation you give me in growing my UA-cam Channel, 3. I appreciate the great work done by engineers in Kenya, being one of them. Mbele Pamoja.

    Quite hard to notice the Dam itself clearly as the drone camera hardly captured the same. Recommends use of ARROWS/POINTERS, CIRCLES on the point of interest in future videos (eg 1st , 2nd layers etc as described by the engineer)

      I agree with you about the environmental impacts that we might not even fully understand now, actually some countries are knocking down dams built decades ago. But we have a bigger threats than the immediate area flora and fauna, Global Warming.
      Kenya needs to make more electricity so that it's cheaper, so that we as a nation stop using charcoal and trees as firewood, or using imported oil to produce electricity. Those are the worst for environment than any dam Kenya builds can ever be.
