Hon. Joyce Kamene Advocates for Progress on Mavoko Water Supply Project
During yesterday’s National Assembly proceedings, Hon. Joyce Kamene, the Machakos County Woman Representative, sought clarity on the status of the Mavoko Water Supply Project. She directed her inquiry to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water, and Irrigation, Hon. Kangogo Bowen, emphasizing the need for timely action on the project.
The Mavoko Drinking Water Supply Project is a collaborative effort between the Government of Kenya and the Kingdom of Belgium. It aims to increase water supply capacity by providing an additional 12,000 cubic meters of water per day to Mavoko and 5,000 cubic meters per day to the Syokimau area.
Hon. Kamene highlighted the critical role this project plays in addressing chronic water shortages in the region. She stressed the need for swift implementation, noting that reliable access to clean water is essential for improving the livelihoods of residents in Machakos County.
Calling for transparency and accountability, Hon. Kamene urged the committee chairperson to provide an update on the project’s progress, including timelines and any challenges encountered. Her advocacy reflects her commitment to ensuring the people of Machakos County benefit from essential development projects.
The Mavoko Water Supply Project, once completed, is expected to significantly enhance water availability in the region, contributing to better living conditions and supporting economic growth.
