Water and sanitation companies across the country have urged the government to stop charging them commercial electricity tariffs, saying the high cost of power is driving up the cost of providing essential water services to Kenyans.
The firms want the government to consider introducing a special electricity tariff for water service providers.
They argued that the companies are public-interest entities whose primary responsibility is to ensure Kenyans have access to reliable and affordable water rather than generate profits.
