THAT, AWARE THAT Article 43(1)(d) of the Constitution guarantees every person the right to clean and safe water in adequate quantities and to reasonable standards of sanitation;

COGNIZANT THAT under the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution, county governments are responsible for county water and sanitation services, while the National Government is responsible for water resources management, policy and regulation, and that the Water Act,

2016 and the National Water Policy provide the framework for universal, equitable and sustainable access to water and sanitation services, thereby requiring effective intergovernmental coordination to ensure equitable access to such services;

CONCERNED THAT despite the existing constitutional, legal and policy framework, many residents of informal settlements in Nairobi City County continue to experience inadequate, unreliable, unsafe and unaffordable access to water and sanitation services due to inadequate infrastructure, weak implementation and insufficient investment in water supply and sanitation infrastructure and service delivery;

APPRECIATING

THAT

expanding water and sanitation infrastructure, strengthening public-private-community partnerships and promoting community participation can significantly improve access to affordable, safe and sustainable water and sanitation services within informal settlements;

NOW THEREFORE, THE SENATE resolves that the Nairobi City County Government, through the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, the Athi Water Works Development Agency, the Water Resources Authority and other relevant agencies —

1. Develops and implements a County Water and Sanitation

Improvement Plan with clear targets, timelines and financing for expanding water and sewerage services to informal settlements;

2. Strengthens water supply infrastructure, sewerage networks

and sanitation facilities, while promoting appropriate low-cost and innovative service delivery models;

3. Establishes transparent regulatory and consumer protection

measures to curb illegal water connections, exploitation through informal water vending, inflated tariffs and unsafe water supply practices; and

4. Deploys, in collaboration with the Water Resources Authority,

adequate financial, technical and institutional resources to restore and protect urban rivers and water catchment areas within Nairobi City County through strengthened enforcement against pollution, rehabilitation of riparian ecosystems and sustained investment in water resource protection, so as to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply of clean and safe water to residents of Nairobi City County.
