President William Ruto is set to launch Ksh2.7 billion Mavoko Water Supply Project on Friday, April 14 as his two-days Ukambani tour begins.
Through his twitter, the State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said, the project will provide water to 500,000 residents of Mavoko Township, Athi River, Mlolongo, and Syokimau.
“It will inject an additional 12,000m3 of daily water supply, up from the current 3000m3 to 15000m3 with 20,000 new connections to households.
“As an enabler, over 300 direct jobs have been created and 40% of the works were contracted to local MSMEs. The Project is in line with the commitment to provision of universal clean and safe water,” Hussein said.
