Kitui, Kenya – The County Government of Kitui, led by Governor Dr. Julius Malombe, is making significant strides in addressing the water challenges faced by its residents. Through strategic collaborations with various development partners, the county aims to achieve universal water coverage, a goal underscored by recent improvements in local water infrastructure.
During the commissioning ceremony of the rehabilitated Mithikwani Water project in Kitui West Sub County, Water and Irrigation County Executive Committee Member (CECM), Peter Nkunda, highlighted the importance of these collaborative efforts. The project, supported by Caritas Kitui and Brooke East Africa with additional aid from Catholic Relief Services (CRS), includes several key enhancements:
- Replacement of the existing motor and water pump.
- Construction of an elevated 10,000-litre water tank.
- Construction of three livestock water troughs.
- Repair of two water kiosks.
The ceremony saw attendance from several dignitaries, including Cindy Ogana, representative of the CEO of Brooke East Africa; Peter Saitoti, Deputy Director of Caritas Kitui; and Hon. Paul Maluki, MCA for Kithumula/Kwamutonga Ward. Minister Nkunda was accompanied by a team of Water Engineers led by Deputy Director Eng. Kennedy Mutati, along with other officials from both county and national governments.
This initiative reflects Kitui County’s commitment to sustainable development and improving the quality of life for its residents by ensuring reliable access to clean water.
