I rise to request for a Statement regarding the review of water tariffs charged by Murang’a South Water and Sanitation Company Limited (MUSWASCO) in Murang'a County. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding reluctance by the Water Services Regulatory Board, (WASREB) to the review of water tariffs by the Murang’a South Water and Sanitation Company Limited (MUSWASCO). Hon. Speaker, on 12th May 2025, the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) issued a notification of tariff reviews that affected the Gatamathi Water and Sanitation Company, Murang’a West Water and Sanitation Company (MUWASCO) and Gatanga Water and Sanitation Company (GATAWASCO) in Murang'a County. Shockingly, and without any explanation, MUSWASCO, a water services provider in Kigumo, Kandara and parts of Maragua constituencies, was excluded from the review despite charging the highest water tariffs in the county. Presently, residents served by MUSWASCO are being charged Ksh107 per unit of water supplied, which is significantly higher than their counterparts supplied by other water The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
