Officiating the launch, Deputy Governor Titus Ntuchiu envisioned an end to perennial water poverty as promised by Governor Kiraitu Murungi in his campaign manifesto. He said the county has invested heavily in the water sector, by sinking 195 solar powered boreholes in arid areas benefiting at least 70,000 households, apart from supporting a number of major community water projects.

He was echoed by CEC Water, Dr. Eunice Kobia, who asserted water provision has been a key deliverable focusing on piped, rain and ground Waters across the county.
