The Board of Directors of Uasin Gishu County Rural Water and Sanitation Company (URWASCO), led by Chairman Mr. Pius Kigen, on Thursday paid a courtesy call to Chris Kiptoo, Principal Secretary at the National Treasury, to explore avenues for resource mobilization aimed at upgrading water schemes across Uasin Gishu County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

URWASCO operates under Nguzo 7 of the Uasin Gishu County development agenda, a pillar that prioritizes improved living standards through accessible water and sanitation services. The framework also underscores environmental sustainability, including the promotion of a clean and healthy environment and the responsible management of natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a key provider serving peri-urban and rural communities, URWASCO is mandated to manage and sustain water projects to ensure a reliable, long-term supply. Enhanced collaboration with the National Treasury is anticipated to fast-track critical upgrades, strengthen system functionality, and build capacity to meet rising demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board reaffirmed its commitment to advancing water security and delivering efficient services in line with the county\u2019s broader development priorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
