In his remarks, Governor Malombe emphasized the committee’s role in creating both long- and short-term water supply solutions for the residents. “This team has a specific mandate to bridge existing gaps in water usage and to develop an equitable plan for the consumption of Masinga water,” he noted.

Governor Wavinya Ndeti underscored the importance of inter-county cooperation, highlighting the Masinga Dam as a national asset that should benefit neighboring regions. “In line with the South Eastern Kenya Economic Bloc’s vision, we have brought our water departments together to ensure that both Kitui and Machakos gain from the dam’s resources,” she stated.
