Kirinyaga governor Ann Waiguru on Wednesday explained how a water firm lost more than Sh470.6 million in earnings during her reign.
In a sit down with the Senate’s County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee, legislatures called upon the governor to clarify how the Kirinyaga Water and Sanitation Company suffered the losses. The senators during the audit questioning for the period 2020-21 claimed that the lost revenue was triggered by graft and flawed management. Migori Senator Eddy Oketch blamed Managing Director for the shortcomings.
“It will be very deceptive. This is purely been a management issue. Managing Director, you have a problem,” said Mr Oketch.
An audit report for 2020-2021 disclosed that only 2.70 million cubic metres of the total 6.72 million cubic meters were billed to customers, raking in Sh150.8 million. Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) states that the 35% loss is above the allowable loss of 25%. The revenue loss is projected to hurt the company’s profitability for the financial year.
Governor Waiguru said that physical and commercial losses led to the non-revenue water. She attributed the physical losses to deteriorated infrastructure, saying that the same hiked operational costs. She added that the water supply needed assessment after decades of its operation. The committee rejected her explanation saying that the management of the water company embezzled the funds.
“The company developed a non-revenue water reduction plan which has been implemented in the financial year 2020/2021. The company has shifted from Upvc pipes to HDPE pipes. This is because HDPE pipes are more durable and elastic than Upvc pipes,” Waiguru said.

Hebu soma msemo huu muhimu…
Hebu soma msemo huu muhimu sana wa Kiswahili halafu uufikirie kwa makini:
“Zimwi likujualo, halikuli likakwisha.”
UDA: Chama cha siasa cha ajabu mno! Kiongozi wa chama hiki alichukua muda wa miaka mitano kugombea urais bila kumsaidia aliyekuwa rais wakati yeye alipokuwa makamu wake.
Kwa muda huu wote, alitumia ulinzi wa serikali na petroli kutangatanga nchini bila kufanya kazi. Isitoshe, kila Jumapili alikwenda makanisani kutafuta kura humo.
Historia haitakionea huruma chama hiki itakapoandikwa bila kuficha yote yaliyotendeka kwenye chama hiki cha ajabu. Swali likatalokuwa msingi wa maelezo ya wakati huu litakuwa, Wafula Chebukati alimruhusuje huyu mponda mali ya umma kugombea urais wa nchi?
Hayati kiongozi wa kanisa la Anglikani huko COHO ya Kusini alisema Ndugu Mpilo Tutu alinguruma:
“Unaponyamaza kimya, huku ukiona jambo baya likitendeka, wewe na yule anayefanya jambo hilo bovu, hamna tofauti yoyote!”

@ Kiptitich Ng’eno:
Kusema kweli, hatuwezi kumlaumu dada yetu Waiguru kwa kuchaguliwa kuwa gavana wa Kaunti ya Kirinyaga. Hebu tuchunguze kwa makini yaliyotukia ili aweze kuchaguliwa.
Kama Ndugu yetu WAFULA CHEBUKATI angalifanya kazi yake ipasavyo, (Kulingana na Katiba Mpya ya Kenya) karibu asilimia tisini (90%)ya watu wote ambao wamo serikalini sasa, hawangaliruhusiwa kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi wa nchi kinyume cha Katiba hiyo.
Ajabu ni kuwa, hata Ndugu yetu Raila Juma Oginga na pia Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto, hawangalipita mtihani wa Katiba yetu mpya.
