She urged them to take collective responsibility in overseeing its implementation and to remain proactive in safeguarding continuous water supply to residents.
She also reaffirmed the County Governmentβs commitment to delivering transformative, project-based development initiatives across the region.
The site handover was attended by the area MCA, Hon. Gildon Shioso, Director for Water and Sanitation, Mr. Fred Atwa, the Sub-County Administrator, Ward Administrator, and members of the project committee, who expressed optimism and gratitude, noting that the project will greatly benefit the community upon completion
