Eshibinga: More than 1,000 households in Eshibinga sub-location, Kisa East Ward, are set to benefit from clean and reliable water through an ongoing community water project. The project is part of the broader One Sub-location, One Community Water Project, an initiative championed by Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka, who has pledged to ensure that every sub-location in the constituency has direct access to safe water.
According to Kenya News Agency, during an inspection visit, Aseka reaffirmed his pledge to address water scarcity in Khwisero through targeted and sustainable investments. He emphasized that water is not just a basic need but a critical pillar of health, dignity, and development. "I committed to the people of Khwisero that every sub-location would receive a reliable water source. With projects like this one in Eshibinga, we are steadily turning that promise into reality," Aseka said.
The Eshibinga project includes a solar-powered pumping system, water storage tanks, and a piped distribution network designed to reach community centers, schools, and homesteads. Aseka mentioned that once completed, it will drastically reduce the distance residents, particularly women and children, travel to fetch water. He noted that the One Sub-location, One Community Water Project has already made a visible impact in other areas across Khwisero, helping to improve hygiene, boost school attendance, and support small-scale farming.
Residents have welcomed the project with optimism, describing it as one of the most impactful development initiatives in recent years. Local leaders also commended the MP for prioritizing essential services that directly affect everyday life. MP Aseka pledged to continue mobilizing resources and working with national and development partners to ensure that the water access goal is achieved in all sub-locations. "Our work is far from over, but the results are already being felt. A Khwisero with universal water access is not a dream but our shared mission," he concluded.
