The rift valley water board services presented 2 water tankers
each with a capacity of 16,000 cubic meters to the county government. Rift
valley water board C.E.O Japheth Mutai handed over the sh. 22 million worth
tankers to the deputy governor, Peter Ekai and the executive in charge of water
services Beatrice Askul at the Governor’s office quarters.
Speaking when presenting the tankers, Rift valley water board CEO
Japheth Mutai said that this is part of the project funded by the World Bank
which is aimed at improving provision of water services. He added that those
similar projects are going on in other counties prone to water shortages like
west pokot.
Deputy Governor, Peter Ekai appreciated the task done by the board and
hinted that the county government plans to purchase 2 other water tankers which
will be in place soon.
Water and irrigation county executive Beatrice Askul said the tankers
have come at the right moment when drought is hitting the region.
Water from the Napuu aquifer will start benefiting the residents of
Lodwar town suburbs.
