[Ignatius Odanga, Standard]Busia County and the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA) on Friday signed Sh54million deal to connect clean water to homes in the flood-prone Bunyala South, Budalang’i. Bunyala South is among the hard-hit areas with floods in Bunyala occasioned by backflow from Lake Victoria and overflows from River Nzoia. Ojaamong said locals urgently need clean water hence the need to implement the project in the current financial year. “It is unfortunate that Bunyala residents live next to a freshwater yet they lack clean water for their use,” said Ojaamong. “It is a short in the arm for Bunyala South ward whose residents have suffered due to lack of clean water,” said Ajuma.
