Unless we deal with the water shortage now, we will live to regret it

I have visited many counties since the year began: Nyamira, Kisii, Migori, Nakuru and Laikipia, and all have the same story about water scarcity and helpless residents looking for the commodity in vain.

In the Gusii counties where rain is the norm rather than the exception most of the year, poor leadership and lack of planning at the county level have conspired to worsen the water situation and residents now pray for rain.
