He also thanked Jemimah Buhanda the LCV chairperson for the cooperation and hard work stressing that it could be the reason why Kitagata is soon to be elevated into a regional referral hospital

He assured the people that in five years, NWSC targets 10200000 connections and assured that Sheema will be a big beneficiary.

Eng. Silver said that as of now, 85% of their customers are now happy with NWSC services and promised to raise the percentage to 90 in the next 5 years.

He added that they are working hard to fulfill the president’s pledge of putting up at least two public water taps in every village by 2026.

He further pledged to give Sheema two public water toilets worth 30 million shillings.

The Sheema District CAO John Betungura asked Eng. Silver that if he can, he should influence the government to come out strongly about the plastic bottles and kavera issue.
