The Kenyan government has commissioned a KSh 376.3 million (~$2.91 million) water supply project for the Kinanie Leather Industrial Park (KLIP) in Machakos County, a key infrastructure project aimed at supporting the country’s growing leather manufacturing sector.
The project was officially commissioned by Principal Secretary for Water and Sanitation Julius Korir, who described it as an important investment that will strengthen industrial development while advancing the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
Implemented by the Tanathi Water Works Development Agency, the project will provide a reliable water supply to both the Kinanie Leather Industrial Park and neighbouring communities.
The infrastructure includes 2 equipped boreholes, water storage facilities, 25 kilometres of transmission pipeline, a reticulation network within the industrial park and a community water point.
