KITWASCO New Tariff Secure Public Support During Consultation Forum

KITWASCO Tariff Review Public Conslutation Meeting held at Kitui Agricultural Training Center (ATC) on February 23, 2024, stakeholders, including Kitwasco staff, regulatory bodies, and the public, gathered for a public consultation forum on the proposed tariff review.

The forum was led by Mr. Ngunda, Minister for Water and Irrigation, and Mr. Peter Kilonzo, Kitui’s CECM for Finance, Economic, and Revenue Management.

The participants unanimously adopted the new Kitwasco Water Tariffs thus marking a significant stride for the company. The proposed friendly tariffs are aimed at supporting Kitwasco, whose existing rates were last reviewed in 2011, approximately 13 years ago.

WASREB, the regulatory body, played a crucial role in guiding the public on their roles and the responsibilities of the County Government in water provision according to the 2010 constitution. The regulator emphasized their primary responsibility is to protect the interests of consumers and service providers.
