Tana Water Works Development Agency CEO Eng. Philip Gichuki participated in a meeting called by the Principal Secretary for Water and Sanitation, Julius Korir, CBS, regarding the Implementation Support Mission of the Kenya Towns Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program in partnership with the African Development Bank.
The meeting noted significant progress under the Kenya Towns Program, which is now 90% complete, with 32 projects already commissioned. Key issues discussed included the need to fast-track land compensation processes and enhance project sustainability, particularly through solarization of pumping schemes to reduce energy costs.
The Principal Secretary called on all implementing agencies to intensify coordination and undertake weekly monitoring of project activities to ensure timely completion ahead of the program closure in December 2026.
The engagement reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to delivering sustainable water and sanitation solutions while restoring critical ecosystems for the benefit of all Kenyans.
