Residents of Murang’a County are demanding a share of water from national projects implemented in the county.
Led
by Gatanga Member of Parliament Nduati Ngugi, the locals want at least
six per cent of water being generated from Ndakaini Dam and the soon to
be completed Northern Water Collector Tunnel.
“We only
want 10,000 cubic meters of water generated by both Ndakaini Dam and the
Northern Water Collector Tunnel. How can you host something that has no
benefit to you?,” posed Mr Ngugi.
He was speaking on Wednesday when a team from the national government and Nairobi County toured Ndakaini Dam.
The legislator also dismissed claims the residents had been
sabotaging the progress of water levels at Ndakaini Dam, saying they
were also concerned by the situation at the facility that supplies 84
per cent of water to Nairobi residents.
Ministry of
Water chief administrative secretary Winnie Guchu said the ministry is
working on “a good roadmap” to compensate the people of Murang’a for
hosting the Northern Water Collector Tunnel.
