Your agencies, especially WASREB, have a lot to do in terms of civic education on water tariffs and charges. The level of ignorance in our population is unmatched.

Nolturesh Water company in badly run Kajiado was taken down by non revenue water. Diverting treated water to Agricultural firms
Do you know bulk water infrast. is often financed by loans from AfDB, World Bank and KfW? Treasury reported KSh137.9bn in water-sector loans outstanding by June 2025. Treatment chemicals, electricity, repairs and staff are recurring operating costs, sir—not propaganda.
The comments under CS @mugaa_eric's post expose two things: widespread ignorance on water management & failure to understand water supply economics.Water is a basic human right,but treatment,distribution & infrast. maintenance are NOT free. NRW is a serious development challenge.
Dualling is well on course. With commercial financing, the contract is often signed first, then the contractor uses it to approach banks for funding. This is common with Chinese projects, where the contractor helps the government source financing.
The @ppp_kenya has terminated a PIP by Elevolution Engenharia, S.A., Portugal for the Financing, Design, Construction, Operation and Transfer of the Thuci Dam Project under the PPP framework & directed @MOWSI_KE @Irrigation_Auth to consider an alternative procurement route.
Even with a competent Employer’s Contract Administrator, if the Site Agent doesn’t understand contract administration, you've a recipe for chaos.
These are the people making daily decisions on site. Contract administration shouldn’t be an afterthought in engineering education.

No wonder @mugaa_eric has been exposing very clueless site agents. A Site Agent is the project’s frontline officer. How do you expect someone struggling with commercial management and economics to prevent cost overruns? We need holistic engineers, not just technical experts.
Kenya’s engineering curriculum is overly technical,often at the expense of vital supporting courses: business communication,project economics,commercial management & contract administration.
I’d bet 80% of fresh engineering graduates leave university without a clue what FIDIC is.

We have a very professional and articulate man for the job in @mugaa_eric .
This is too low of @Milliegeza . You seem not to understand the law that you make. Bulk water and sewerage infrastructure are developed by national gov't thr' various agencies & thereafter handed over to utility companies. So the CS can't call out poor operation of such?
The president H.E @WilliamsRuto might have had several misses, but not in the appointment of Eng. @mugaa_eric . Engineers are happy.

At an estimated cost of KSh 38.841 billion, China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) will design, construct & finance the Athi Dam & Associated Irrigation Water Conveyance System along the Galana River to supply irrigation water to the Galana-Kulalu Food Security Project.

Because the project lies within Tsavo East National Park, the canal incorporates wildlife protection measures, including:
• 1.05 m quarry stone aggregate buffer
• Solar-powered electric fence
• 5 wildlife overpasses (100 m each)
• 2 wildlife drinking pools
