CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT

Eng. Petronilla Ogut, OGW

Chief Executive Officer – LVSWSB

The Water Sector Reforms of Kenya going back to the year 2002 set an agenda to

provide efficient and effective Water and sanitation services to the people of Kenya. A

journey that saw the establishment of Lake Victoria South Water Services Board

(LVSWSB) in 2004, an institution that has pursued quality access.

LVSWSB was licensed by the Water Services Regulatory Board on 11th May 2007 in

compliance with section 53(1) of the Water Act 2002. The organization has fulfilled its

mandate of “ensuring efficient and economic provision of water and sanitation services

in our area of jurisdiction”, obligations of the 10 year licence and is due for renewal of

the licence. I consider this a special privilege to welcome all of you, to this all-important

Public Consultation forum where we share our 10 years achievements and provide an

insight into our future investments. The public and their views are very critical to the

continued development of water and sanitation infrastructure by the Water Services

Board and provision of water and sanitation services through the Water Service

providers owned by the County Governments.

Water and sanitation infrastructure development challenges have been experienced in

the last ten years. These have included low water and sanitation coverage, inadequate

investments to meet increasing water demand, wastewater disposal requirements and

high energy costs. Today marks a historic milestone where we celebrate our

achievements and give you commitment that in the next ten years we shall be at your



service. Great to note is that in the last 10 years major investments worth Kshs.13 billion

were undertaken covering all the counties within our area of jurisdiction. These has

benefited 2,090,000.people with portable water and 500,000 people with sanitation.

LVSWSB collaborates and works with all the stakeholders to mobilize resources for

water and sanitation infrastructure development, institutional capacity strengthening

and human resources development. Adequate infrastructure, strong institutions and

skilled and adequate personnel are key to the realization of the constitutional right to

access to water and sanitation.

LVSWSB’s commitments in the last ten years was anchored on the first Strategic Plan

2005-2010 revised and extended to cover 2011/2012, and the second Strategic Plan 2013-

17. Key strategic objective was to increase water coverage and sanitation coverage of

36% and25% respectively in the year 2007 the beginning of our licensing period to

63%water coverage and 50% sanitation coverage in the year 2017. We owe our

achievements to the support from the Government of Kenya through the Ministry of

Water and Irrigation, host County Governments, development partners, Water Service

Providers and our stakeholders.

I am happy to report that as at 2017 we are at 60% and 43% water and sanitation

coverage respectively. We are implementing four Vision 2030 flagship projects Kisii

Water Supply and Sanitation Project (financed by KFW & GoK), Siaya-Bondo Water

Supply and Sanitation Project (financed by AfDB & GoK), Bonyunyu Multipurpose

Dam (finance by ORIO & GoK), and Rehabilitation and Expansion of Kisumu Sewerage

Project (financed by AFD & GoK). At completion, these projects will serve a population

of 967,000 (water) and 150,000 (sewerage) up to the year 2035. Other Priority Projects

include Kericho, Keroka, Isebania, Nyamira and Litein towns under LVWATSAN II

financed by AfDB, KfW and GoK.

I take this opportunity to appreciate

(1) Government of Kenya and development partners for financing various water and

sanitation infrastructure projects

(2) Ministry of Water and Irrigation for policy guidance and sector coordination



(3) Water Services Regulatory Board for regulating the Water Services Provision and

ensuring the Water Services Providers achieve Minimum water level standards.

(4) The County Governments for collaboration which has facilitated seamless

devolution of water and sanitation services provision

(5) The Water service providers for the continued provision of water and sanitation

services in their service areas

(6) The stakeholders for their collaboration and good will to the organization received

over the years.

In the next Licence period we plan to develop water and sanitation infrastructure

through National Public Works to achieve sustainable Development Goal No. 6 and

constitutional threshold on water and sanitation access enshrined in Article 43(1)(d).

Finally, I sincerely thank the LVSWSB Board of Directors and staff for their dedication

in the execution of our mandate for the benefit of the current and future generations.

Thank you and God bless you.
