    "content": "companies in the region. Notably, following the tariff reduction by WASREB, MUWASCO reduced its charges from Ksh90 to Ksh76 per unit and GATAWASCO reduced its tariff from Ksh120 to Ksh70 per unit. It is also noted that the Gatamathi Water Company charges Ksh60 per unit. Despite repeated complaints from residents about the notably higher tariffs charged by MUSWASCO, WASREB seemed non-committal to reviewing rates. This inaction places an unfair financial burden on the affected residents and points towards an apparent regulatory discrimination against MUSWASCO consumers in Kigumo, Kandara and Maragua constituencies. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation on the following: 1. The basis of the exclusion of MUSWASCO Limited from the recent downward review of tariffs from WASREB, despite having the highest rates in the region. 2. The immediate measures being taken by WASREB to review MUSWASCO’s water tariffs to ensure fairness and equity in water service provision across Murang’a County. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
