Promoting Public Participation In Water Services
Regulation, by and large, is about consumer protection in respect to service delivery. Wasreb acknowledges the need to involve consumers as participants in decisions that affect the way they receive water services. The empowerment of consumers is in line Kenya’s constitution which recognizes access to water services as a human right. Water Act 2016 under Section 72 requires Wasreb to establish a mechanism for handing complaints from consumers regarding the quality or nature of water services and develop guidelines on the establishment of consumer groups and facilitate their establishment.

A supplier had applied for an opportunity to supply products to us. After the internal processes, he didn’t qualify, and it was communicated to him. He called back unhappy for not being considered. I explained to him how he didn’t meet the requirements. He accepted and said he will apply in the next one. I am glad he accepted it positively.
