A key pledge made by the Governor of Meru H.E. Kiraitu Murungi during his campaigns was to provide a permanent solution to water problem in Igembe region which was one of the most arid areas of the County.

"I promise to remove jerricans(mitungi) from the backs of our women of Igembe by providing Water everywhere," the Governor had promised.

On a trip to commission the Miuine community borehole and inspect others at Kang'enyone, K.K Etama, Marithi, Lubua, and Kaelo in Antuambui Ward, Igembe North, Water Chief Officer Jack Muthamia confirmed that Governor Kiraitu was well on course to achieve his objective of one community borehole for at least every 4 square kilometers in Igembe, thus delivering on his promise to the residents.

The people of Igembe can now use the water which is a key resource and basic requirement for economic transformation to spur development of the region.

The Governor has committed to continue delivering on every pledge he made to the residents in all other parts of the County to ensure equity, equality and fairness in distribution of development, resources and opportunities in a bid attain his vision of Making Meru Great.
