    "content": "To answer you, the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) has done a good job in terms of insisting and giving programme timelines for the water service providers to convert into public utilities, so that the county governments can appoint directors. However, that is where another problem may arise. These are not positions for cronyism. We have serious problems with our water service providers including cases of governance, mismanagement and inefficiency in delivery of the service. Therefore, we find that we have non-revenue water. That is, water unaccounted for to the point of one or two of them going beyond 50 per cent. You develop a drum of water at 100 per cent, but 50 per cent of it is not accounted for. It is either stolen, sold by cartels or there is leakage or the metres are not working."
