Residents in Daraja Mbili Kitutu chache south, Kisii town are set to benefit from a water project of a borehole which was drilled.
Woman representative Doris Aburi has drilled boreholes in South Mugirango, Bomachoge chache,and Boamachoge borabu.
This would relieve women and girls from walking for long distances to fetch water from streams.
However,this would help cut costs of water bills from the water supplying company.
Additionally,this will boost water reticulation for the government institutions and the residents within the region.
Speaking at Daraja Mbili secondary, Aburi noted that through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund NGAAF-
she however initiated water projects where she drilled boreholes in each constituency across the county.
“With a lot of rain in this part of the county, we still lack water because we don’t have water storage equipment,’said Aburi.
Consequently,Aburi who has been advocating against GBV cases in the region –
said that high cost of living has majorly contributed to rising GBV cases.
She said that there is need for awareness creation and prevention of this vice.
Aburi noted the region was currently recording highest numbers of teen pregnancies and domestic violence.
“The cultural relativism in our community is a contributing factor to GBV and we see it as a normal thing.”
“I am calling and at the same time sending a warning out there to men beating their wives, the law is coming for them and they won’t like it,”said Aburi.
Aburi encouraged Women and the youth to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to Kenyan politics.
Therefore,this will ensure a broader representation of the kisii community and spearhead more policies.
“When women are elected to parliament ,they will prioritize more on social issues.This include Health, Education and poverty alleviation which are vital in our community, ”said Aburi.
