Anglican Archbishop Jackson Sapit has asked the government to undertake smaller, less expensive water projects. The archbishop said on Sunday big water projects are done using loans that are misappropriated by the people in charge, leaving Kenyans with a bigger burden. Sapit wants the government to prioritise projects that it can locally fund and ensure the funds are accounted for. “Most of these major water projects also displace members of the communities where they are constructed and destabilise their lives,” Sapit said on Sunday. Construction of water pans, boreholes and other minor projects, he said, would go a long way in increasing water connectivity.
