My End Year Message to CPA Ephantus Kimotho: Architect of Kenya's Irrigation Revolution

As we stand at the crossroads of a passing year, I pause to celebrate a visionary leader, CPA Ephantus Kimotho, Principal Secretary of the State Department for Irrigation. This festive season, as lights twinkle and families gather, it's time we reflect on how transformative leadership can change lives—and yours, sir, has done just that.

Under your stewardship, irrigation policies in Kenya have shifted from static plans to dynamic solutions. You have expanded irrigated land, bringing hope to farmers who once feared drought more than debt collectors. Food security, a long-elusive dream, now feels within reach. But this isn’t just about feeding a nation—it’s about empowering millions of Kenyans who toil the land to rise from subsistence to sustainability.

Your commitment to sustainable practices isn't just admirable; it’s necessary. In a world where climate change is wreaking havoc, your promotion of efficient irrigation systems and innovative technologies is a lifeline, not a luxury. You’ve championed smallholder farmers, turning vulnerable communities into self-reliant hubs of productivity. You’ve built infrastructure that doesn’t just irrigate land—it irrigates hope.

As we edge into 2025, let me say this: the challenges ahead are steep, but so is your resolve. Kenya’s agricultural future doesn’t rest on chance—it rests on leaders like you who are unafraid to dig deep, push hard, and demand better.

So this Christmas, as you gather with loved ones, know this: your work isn’t just seen; it’s celebrated. Your dedication is a gift to this nation. And in 2025, we’re counting on you to continue redefining what’s possible. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and here’s to more victories for Kenya’s farmers, CPA Ephantus Kimotho!
