Members of the Kakamega County Assembly's Committee on Finance and Economic Planning.[Benard Lusigi-Standard]
The Kakamega County Assembly's Committee on Finance and Economic Planning has directed the county's two water service providers to engage the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) in reviewing water tariffs downwards to make the commodity more affordable for residents.
The directive was issued during a meeting with officials from the Department of Water, Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change as the committee scrutinised water service delivery, operational performance and the current tariff structure.
The session brought together County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Water, Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change Peninah Mukabana, Kakamega County Water and Sanitation Company (KACWASCO) Chief Executive Officer CPA Charles Tunga, and Kakamega County Rural Water and Sanitation Company (KARUWASCO) Chief Executive Officer James Atwa.
