THE government spends Sh26 billion annually to treat diseases caused by inadequate sanitation. Water Services Trust Fund CEO Jacqueline Musyoki said almost 80 per cent of deaths in the country are caused by lack of clean water and toilets.
She said Sh2 billion has been disbursed to 45 counties through her organisation to help people living in informal settlements access water. “The Water Services Trust Fund has also received a Sh800 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to scale up sustainable and affordable sanitation,” Musyoki said.
She was speaking in Kisumu on Friday when she launched two water kiosks in Dunga and Bandani. The kiosks cost Sh16 million to build. Musyoki was accompanied by Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma, Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company MD David Onyango and chairman Israel Agina.
