The Authority signed a thirteen-million-shilling contract with Bomet County Assembly for the supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of 80,000 litre elevated steel water storage tank on fifteen-meter-high steel tower at the County Assembly of Bomet.
As the key agency mandated to undertake on behalf of the national government, the development of national public water works for water resources storage and flood control, the Authority is leveraging its expertise and experience in the development of water infrastructure to support the county governments on the same. The authority has drilled 14 boreholes in Bomet County in the past and intends to do more boreholes and other water infrastructure.
Bomet Speaker Cosmas Korir noted that the county of Bomet has enough water sources that need to be tapped and supplied to various amenities. He said the new county assembly complex is ready for launch and use hence water will be an essential requirement. Mr. Korir said the assembly has confidence in National Water on the delivery of quality work and completion of the project on time. Further, government to government procurement is shorter and cost effective.
John Muhia, the Authority’s Ag. Chief Executive Officer said the Authority is delighted to engage with the Assembly in the implementation of water projects. He assured the assembly of quality and timely work reiterating other successful partnerships with the county governments.
The contract was signed by Isaac Kitur, Clerk of the Assembly and Oscar Sang County Assembly General Counsel with John Muhia Ag. Chief Executive Officer and CS. Sharon Obonyo; Manager, Legal Services of National Water Authority.
