Kenya - Murang'a, Kisii and Bungoma Sewerage Project

The Murang'a, Kisii and Bungoma Sanitation Project is part of the Government's efforts to develop certain cities. This should make it possible to build a sort of relay center between activities related to the cash economy and those in the agricultural hinterland. The project consists of rehabilitating and extending existing wastewater collection systems and building new wastewater treatment plants to ensure that the three cities have adequate facilities for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater until 1995. By having easier access to factors of production and markets, farmers and ranchers will be inclined to produce from a commercial point of view and to become more integrated with the monetary economy. This will require not only improving the roads and transport facilities, but also installing infrastructure such as water and sewer systems in these cities. The components of the project are: (A) land acquisitions; (B) pipes and manholes; (C) treatment plants; (D) emptying vehicles and tools; (E) execution studies and supervision of works.
