Water and sanitation providers have asked President William Ruto to allocate at least Sh3 trillion to the water sector under his Vision 2060 development agenda.

Water and Sanitation Providers Association (WASPA) Chief Executive Officer Anthony Nyaramba said the investment was necessary to address the country’s growing water and sanitation needs and ensure more Kenyans have access to reliable and safe water.

Speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing WASPA Games and Cultural Festival in Kericho, Nyaramba said water was an essential commodity that required substantial investment in infrastructure to meet rising demand across the country.
