TWO LAST MILE WATER CONNECTIVITY PROJECTS IN MALAVA HANDED OVER TO CONTRACTORS

Two critical last mile water connectivity projects in Malava sub-county, the Khuvasali-Mukhonje and Khuvasali-Chemuche water projects have been handed over to contractors for implementation.

Funded through the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) programme, their objective is to improve access to clean and reliable water in Mukhonje and Chemuche wards. The Khuvasali-Mukhonje project, valued at Ksh 13 million, will involve construction of a 100,000-litre masonry tank and extension of the distribution network. The Khuvasali-Chemuche project on the other hand will involve installation of seven kilometre-long HDPP pipes and purchasing water meters to facilitate household connections. Both projects are expected to be completed in six months.

Chief Officer for Water and Sanitation Dr. Mariam Were emphasized the importance of engaging skilled local community members in the projects to promote local participation and create economic opportunities.

The projects are part of Governor Fernandes Barasa’s commitment to improving access to water through last mile connectivity dubbed ‘Amatsi Khumuliango’
