Miau Earth Dam Brings Water Relief
For many years, water scarcity was a harsh reality for our people. Between 2017 and 2022, residents endured extreme hardship. A woman from Kwa Katheo recalled waking up at 4:00 a.m. every day to fetch water from a shallow well, queuing for over an hour to collect only four jerrycans. At times, she had to abandon the water to prepare her children for school, later returning to seek help just to transport it home. This was the painful daily struggle faced by many families.
This story deeply touched Hon. Dr. CPA Mwanake Dennis Musyoka , the current MCA and Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Makueni County Assembly. Moved by the people’s suffering, he shared it with His Excellency Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr., sparking action.
Today, that hardship is giving way to hope. Water trenching works are underway, contractors are on site, tanks are being installed, and clean water is now reaching Kwa Katheo and Mba. We give glory to God, for true leadership guides people to where they need to be, not merely where they wish to go.
To the people of Sakai, Sofia, Kyangondu, Kingathuni, Nthaatwa, Kathamba, Mba, Nthangathini, Nthunthuni, Ngovu, and the slopes of Kandulyu and Mituvu, your turn is coming. Hon. Mwanake Dennis and H.E. Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. have more good news on the way.
The Governor has assured residents of Waia/Kako that the water agenda remains firmly on track. Water from the Makaia and Linga boreholes will serve Nthaatwa, Kwa Katheo Hill, and surrounding areas, with rehabilitation works already in progress.
This is leadership that listens and delivers.
May God bless you all.
