A water and sanitation project is relieving residents of Riba, Wajir East, of their water supply problems. Residents have been relying on trucks from the county government or shallow wells to get water. But yesterday, area MP Rashid Kassim, together with officials from the Water Sector Trust Fund, commissioned the Riba Water and Sanitation project. The CEO of the water trust fund, Ismail Fahmy, said water is not only a basic need but a fundamental right that is supposed to be provided in the right quality, quantity and place. Community elder Issack Ali said the project comes as a great reprieve to the people of Riba and its environs at large.
