Kivaa Full Gospel Church together with the area Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has launched a water project programme in Kithoni village.
Speaking on Wednesday at Kithoni Primary school during the opening of the water project the church overseer, Rev Stephen Nyaga, said that the water project would ensure more access by residents suffering due to water shortage.
“This project has cost more than Sh2 million and it will be able to distribute water to more than 4,000 household in this area,” said Nyaga.
At the same time the church called upon residents to plant trees in their homes to protect their environment.
Kivaa Member of County Assembly MCA, Alexander Nzambu Kathinzi,said that he will his duties as expected by the constitution.
Residents could not hide their joy when welcoming the projects.
Mary Musai expressed her gratitude to the church, “I am happy that we can access water easier. I used to use one hour going to Kithoni river to fetch water and coming back home it would take two hours,” said Musai.
“We will ensure that in the 2014-2015 allocation of funds a higher percentage of funds are put aside for water projects to avoid a situation like the one experienced here in the past few years. I will do my duty of representing the problems, overseeing the projects being completed and legislation.” Said Kathinzi
The residents present and specifically the women were very happy as this has saved them from the daily 3 hours walk to Kithoni River which is several kilometres from their home.
