    County government of Kilifi has admitted existence of wrangles with the Coast water works development agency, resulting in inadequate supply of clean water to Rabai residents.

    Addressing residents of Rabai at Cheupe ground, speaking at Cheupe ground, Kilifi County Chief officer in charge of water and natural resources, George Katama Mwangiri called on a Rabai member of national assembly to intervene.

    According to Mwangiri there is a need for a solution to enable free flow of clean water to Rabai residents.

    “As we celebrate this international women’s day, we cannot separate water with women, however I call upon Rabai Mp to use his influence to talk to Coast Water Works Development Agency for us to walk together.  They give us inadequate water supply leading to this problem hence calling for more water to be pumped to Kilifi County from the Mzima pipeline.” He said.

    However, Mwangiri noted that their plan to ease water problems for residents of Mwawesa and Ruruma ward in Rabai through the construction of Bwagamoyo Mkapuni pipeline is at an advanced stage.

    “Already 70% of the project that is being implanted in phases is complete, with the third phase starting from Golo to Mkapuni likely to start soon. Next week we will be at Buni for the construction of the second largest tank in Kilifi County with 2500 cubic meter storage.” Revealed

    Similar sentiments were echoed by Kilifi County Deputy Governor, Flora Chibule, who assured Rabai residents of their commitment to address water menace not only in Rabai but Kilifi at large.

    Chibule revealed that the county government has released those 30 million shillings for three of the Bwagamoyo Mkapuni 14inch pipeline adding that there is uneven supply of water to Kilifi, Kwale and Mombasa counties from Mzima pipeline.

    “We are determined to release problems that women are facing in our community and this is through the plans that are in place including the opportunities that women have in our county administration.” Said the DG

    At the same time Rabai member of national Assembly, Anthony Kenga, called on a collective responsibility in addressing water problems.

    According to Kenga his plan to push for construction of a mega dam in Rabai from the national government is still on to supplement efforts from the county government in averting water problems.

    “As we work towards bringing solutions to challenges facing women in our area, we call upon you women to take charge in ensuring that our girls are raised with values and curb early and unwanted programs.” Advised Kenga.

    He maintained that a leader’s commitment in bringing positive change in the community might end up in vain if the next generation lack discipline and adequate education.
