The County Executive Committee Member for Environment, Water, Natural Resources, and Energy, Mr. Anthony Sitienei, accompanied by Sub-County Water Engineers Tabitha Kipnyango and Boaz Korellach, as well as Ward Administrator Vincent Sambai, engaged with residents who are set to benefit from these projects.
The initiative aims to ensure communities have reliable and equitable access to clean water.
“I urge the local committees to coordinate closely with our office to ensure all residents benefit from dependable water access,” said Mr. Sitienei.
Engineer Boaz assured residents that the technical team is committed to delivering high-quality work that guarantees sustainability and sufficient water supply.
Mzee Kosgei, a local elder, expressed his appreciation for Governor Bii’s administration for prioritizing water access:
“We are grateful to our Governor, who truly cares for his people. We can now open taps at home — no more long walks uphill to fetch water,” he said.
Water distribution remains a top priority under Governor Bii’s leadership. Aligned with Nguzo Number 7, significant budget allocations have been made to implement more projects, including in the most remote areas of Uasin Gishu County.
