The Principal Secretary in the ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation presided over a cheque presentation ceremony of a subsidy worth Ksh 45 million to Nyeri Water and Sanitation Company Ltd on 31st January 2020 at the governor’s office, Nyeri.
The company qualified for a subsidy after completion of phase 1 of Output Based Aid project which established infrastructure for sewer extension. The company was required to satisfy laid down requirements by Water Sector Trust Fund first before qualifying for the subsidy, a task it completed successfully. The Chief Executive Officer of WSTF Ismail Fahmy M. Shaiye commended the company for completing OBA 1 project in the recommended time and standards hence qualifying for the same. The company is embarking on the second phase of the OBA project which involves physical connections of individual households to the sewer line. This is in a bid to improve sanitation standards in Nyeri county. Upon completion, the project which is targeting approximately 3000 individual households will increase sewer connections from 25%-30%.
