Trans Nzoia County Governor George Natembeya, speaking during the commissioning of the project, said his administration expected a hydrological survey report to enable it to avail water on a timely basis to alleviate the perennial water shortage.
The county boss revealed that more funds will be injected into the main River Nzoia project. The county will also build a water kiosk outside the school to serve the interests of the area residents and prevent residents from mixing with students to prevent interfering with their learning.
