Residents of Nambale Sub County in Busia County are raising concerns over a prolonged water shortage in their area.

Locals from Khwilare, Segero, and Maduwa told Citizen Digital that they have been without a reliable water supply for a year, following the breakdown of a communal water point at Khwilare Primary School.


Led by Clatus Idiama, Leonard Murwayi, Humphrey Makacha, and Patrick Okumu Outa, the residents urged the county government to take action and repair the facility to restore normal water access.

"The pump stopped working in September last year, and it hasn't been fixed since," they said, adding that repeated requests to the county administration have gone unanswered.
