AfDB finances Othaya sewerage system expansion
Kenya has announced plans to expand the Othaya sewerage system with financing from the African Development Bank. The Kenyan government will invest $598,000 towards the work.
The project, currently in its third phase, is expected to be completed by July this year. It will see the drinking water supply system in the towns of Bondo, Siaya, Othaya, Mukurwe-ini, Maua, Kitui, Matuuuu and Kithimani rehabilitated.
The entire project, which is funded by African Development Bank, will cost more than $3 million. The completion of the sewer system will pave way to desilting Chinga dam. The dam supplies water for consumption for residents of both Othaya and Mukurwe-ini constituencies.
