Residents of Nyamira County have a reason to smile after the county authorities acquired a new fire fighting engine.
For many years now, the South Nyanza county has been depending on services from the neighboring Kisii County.
And an official from the Public Relations Office identified as Philomena, said the machine will be stationed within the county headquarters.
"We are happy that this has happened and we shall continue ensuring service delivery is on top of our priorities.
"The machine will remain within the ministry of transport and we shall launch a direct emergency line soon to all residents,'" she said.
It is however not clear how much the engine cost with some critics calling for audit on possible fraud.
News about the new engine were first made public in Nyamira ODM Youth League WhatsApp Group.
