CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Hon. Amb. John Arap Koech Chairman Board of Directors – LVSWSB

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Lake Victoria South Water Services Board, I take

this ample opportunity to sincerely welcome you to this year‟s Annual Stakeholders

Conference. The theme for this year‟s conference, “Collaboration for Quality Water

Access”, symbolizes the need and urgency for a more coordinated approach in fast-

tracking water asset development and realization of our strategic goals.

Over the last one year, the Board has maintained stability in delivering services to the

Kenyan citizens in accordance with its mandate as spelled out in the Section 53 of the

Water Act (2002). Further to this, I assure you of the Board‟s commitment towards

improving service provision in all areas comprising our jurisdiction. This commitment

subsequently serves as a basis upon which our stakeholders are called to participate in

project identification, financing, implementation and management.

Investment Volume

In the FY 2015/16, the Board injected Ksh.1.24 billion into asset development to serve an

approximated population of 319,497 people in our host Counties. This volume of

investment increased water coverage from 58% in 2014/15 to an average of 60% this

year. Within the same period, sanitation coverage went up from 38% to 43%. We owe

these achievements to the support from the Government of Kenya through the Ministry

of Water and Irrigation, host County Governments, development partners, Water

Service Providers and other esteemed stakeholders.

Annual Stakeholders Report 2015/16 10

Implementation of Strategic Plan 2013-17

The LVSWSB family is united by its vision of being “an effective and efficient Water

Services Board in Kenya”. Realization of this dream is guided by our corporate strategy

which defines our long term goals and means to success. In the FY 2015/16, the Board

continued to monitor implementation of its strategic plan 2013-17 to ensure realization

of water service coverage target of 63% and sanitation of 50% by June 2017. We

successfully carried out mapping of our stakeholders and relevant actors, and now we

are at advanced stage of developing investment plans for both rural and urban areas,

taking into consideration the County Integrated Development Plans.

Upholding National Values

The National Values as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution gives us

responsibility as a public institution to be at the forefront in upholding and promoting

them. These essential values have always been fundamental in guiding our corporate

and individual actions. In the FY 2015/16, the Board promoted equity and sustainable

development by ensuring fair distribution of project activities in all our host Counties.

We also championed integrity in use of public resources by partnering with responsible

national agencies such as EACC. Under good corporate governance, the Directors

expressed their commitment by signing the Mwongozo code of conduct. Moreover, the

Board continued to encourage public participation in all project activities to enhance

broader ownership and sense of responsibility.

Recruitment of Senior Managers

The Board of Directors appreciates the technical support from the Corporation‟s senior

management and the staff in general. Their synergy and mastery of individual roles and

responsibilities have indeed been reliable in shifting the Board to another higher level of

service delivery. In the FY 2015/16, the Board strengthened top management by

successfully recruiting three substantive departmental heads for Finance, Corporate

Planning and Technical Services. In addition, the Board recruited Manager in charge of

Urban Water Service Provision.

Operational Challenges

Access to clean and safe water is a subject of many challenges which we all have to deal

with in the quest of realizing the constitutional threshold enshrined in Article 43(1)(d).

Some of the challenges include trans-boundary disputes, limited cash-flows, increasing

operational costs, litigations in land acquisitions and way-leaves, and anxiety created by

delayed passage of the Water Bill. These challenges could easily be mitigated if our

concerted efforts are unified by the desire to serve Kenya and her citizens.

National Goals

Finally, I would like to reiterate that asset development and management is

fundamental in achieving our national aspirations. Coupled with prudent service

management, it is a recipe to a vibrant water sector that can drive the Kenyan economy

towards meeting present and emerging challenges. And, we shall have contributed

immensely towards reduction of poverty, attainment of Sustainable Development Goals

and realization of Vision 2030.

With these few remarks, Ladies and Gentlemen, I strongly believe that we will continue

to work as a team and give our people the services they so urgently desire.

I NOW declare this year‟s Annual Stakeholders Conference officially Open.

ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT

Mr. Chrispine O. Juma, HSC Ag. Chief Executive Officer - LVSWSB

I am delighted and indeed I consider this a special privilege to welcome all of you, our

esteemed stakeholders to this all-important Stakeholders Conference, which is

convened under the theme “Collaboration for Quality Water Access”. The reasoning

behind this year‟s theme is anchored on your unwavering support and our collective

thoughts that we exist for the service of others.

The FY 2015/16 marked yet another milestone for the LVSWSB as we endeavoured to

fulfil our mandate of “ensuring efficient and economic provision of water and

sanitation services in our area of jurisdiction”. In this front, we strengthened our

corporate reputation in core areas such as investment planning, project implementation

and water supply management.

The Board‟s performance commitments in FY 2015/16 were based on our Strategic Plan

2013-17, which was designed to actualize 63% water coverage and 50% coverage in

sanitation by June 2017. Through the support of the Government of Kenya and our

development partners, I am happy to report that one year before closure we are at 60%

and 43% water and sanitation coverage respectively. Our planned project activities in

the FY 2016/17 are thus geared towards meeting and even exceeding the set service

provision levels.

As a State Corporate in an essential and „development-enabler‟ sector, the LVSWSB

plays a critical role towards realization of national economic goals. Currently, we are

implementing FOUR Vision 2030 flagship projects which include Kisii Water Supply

and Sanitation Project (financed by KFW & GoK), Siaya-Bondo Water Supply and

Sanitation Project (financed by AfDB & GoK), Bonyunyu Multipurpose Dam (finance by

Page 16: 2016 Annual Lake Victoria Water Servics Board Report

Lake Victoria South Water Services Board

Annual Stakeholders Report 2015/16 13

ORIO & GoK), and Rehabilitation and Expansion of Kisumu Sewerage Project (financed

by AFD & GoK). At completion, these projects will serve a population of 967,000 (water)

and 150,000 (sewerage) up to the year 2035.

The Board is also implementing Priority Projects in Kericho, Keroka, Isebania, Nyamira

and Litein towns under LVWATSAN II financed by AfDB and GoK. Moreover, there

are 34 projects in difference phases of implementation financed through the

Constituency Development Programme by the Government of Kenya.

To enhance water service provision in our region‟s small towns, the Board is finalizing

feasibility studies and detailed designs for 10 projects before making proposals to the

financiers. Several interventions are also ongoing in the rural areas through our

partnership with various Community Based Organizations.

In the period under review, the Board engaged itself in various Corporate Social

Responsibilities which served our specific intent of promoting access to water and

sanitation services, while at the same time executing our advocacy role in national

cohesion and upholding of national values. In this respect, the Board identified 46

public primary and secondary schools as deserving beneficiaries of 10M3 plastic water

tanks to promote rain water harvesting and storage. We also sensitized the Youth,

Women and People with Disabilities on public tendering to meet the Government

threshold of 30% reservation. In addition, we held public sessions on HIV/Aids at

various project areas to promote awareness and behaviour change.

I restate the Chairman‟s view that the water sector is prone to several challenges. And

under these challenges our expectation is to thrive. This could easily be realized in the

stability and spirit of our oneness, a reason why we convene here today.

Finally, I sincerely thank the LVSWSB Board of Directors and staff for their superior

dedication in ensuring that we perform our mandate for the benefit of the current and

future generations.

Thank you and God bless you.

The Board conducted a customer satisfaction survey in June 2016 to establish the impact

of its various activities and performance in the FY 2015/16. Data were obtained by

stratification from sampled individuals and institutions having direct relationship with

the Board. Subsequent analysis showed a positive index-shift from 91% recorded in

2014 to 94%. This was attributed to widening service coverage, ongoing project

activities and visibility initiatives undertaken by the Board and its stakeholders.

CHALLENGES

The Board met the following challenges during the year under review:

Unpaid bills to contractors and suppliers due to delayed disbursement of

counterpart funds;

Low revenue mobilization from WSPs due to operational challenges;

Delay in land and way-leave acquisition. For instance, in Keroka and Isebania

Long Term Interventions (LTIs), the Board is still unable to access land for the

construction of sanitary landfill and fecal sludge treatment plants;

High operational costs and water-supply disruptions due to power

disconnections; and

Anxiety caused by delayed passage of Water Bill.

WAY FORWARD

In the FY 2016/17, the Board of Directors and Management will seek to address

identified challenges by:

Engaging national authorities to fast-track disbursement of counterpart funds;

Continue to partner with host County Governments and other stakeholders to

mitigate devolution-related challenges;

Timely acquisition of land and way-leaves through collaborative engagements

with both the County and National Governments;

Continue to embrace gravitational designs and renewable energy options to

lower operational costs; and

Review SPAs with WSPs to befit the requirements of devolved functions.
