Governor Malombe Commissions Kangu Kangu Water Project in Kitui South

Dr. Malombe emphasized the county government's commitment to ensuring clean water is supplied to all households in Kitui County, with water points accessible within a two-kilometer radius. "The county government is committed to ensuring clean water is supplied to all households in Kitui County and making water points as close as a distance of two kilometers for easy accessibility of clean and reliable water sources," he stated.

The Governor urged residents to contribute a small fee for water usage to facilitate proper management and maintenance of the project. "It's a must for this project to be managed professionally. Don't charge a lot of money, but make a cost that can manage and maintain this project," Dr. Malombe urged.

Gilbert Kamanga, National Director of World Vision Kenya, appealed to the county government to consider installing solar power to pump water from the Kangu Kangu project, reducing electricity costs and subsequently the amount residents would pay for water. "I appeal to you, Your Excellency, with your government to ensure there is a constant flow of this water, and to achieve this is by installing solar power," Kamanga stated.

The Kangu Kangu water project is expected to significantly improve the lives and lifestyles of residents in Kitui South, providing them with access to clean and reliable water for domestic and irrigation use.
