The State has tabled a Bill to guide the implementation of the public-private partnerships (PPP) deals in provision of water, in an effort to speed up the ambitious target of ensuring universal access to clean water.
The Water (Amendment) Bill, 2023 seeks to amend several sections in the current Act on Water, setting up the country for the first ever PPP projects to bridge a funding gap estimated at Sh500 billion that has derailed efforts to provide clean water.
