CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Hon. Amb. John Arap Koech
Chairman Board of Directors – LVSWSB
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Lake Victoria South Water Services Board, I take
this ample opportunity to sincerely welcome you to this year‟s Annual Stakeholders
Conference. The theme for this year‟s conference, “Collaboration for Quality Water
Access”, symbolizes the need and urgency for a more coordinated approach in fasttracking water asset development and realization of our strategic goals.
Over the last one year, the Board has maintained stability in delivering services to the
Kenyan citizens in accordance with its mandate as spelled out in the Section 53 of the
Water Act (2002). Further to this, I assure you of the Board‟s commitment towards
improving service provision in all areas comprising our jurisdiction. This commitment
subsequently serves as a basis upon which our stakeholders are called to participate in
project identification, financing, implementation and management.
Investment Volume
In the FY 2015/16, the Board injected Ksh.1.24 billion into asset development to serve an
approximated population of 319,497 people in our host Counties. This volume of
investment increased water coverage from 58% in 2014/15 to an average of 60% this
year. Within the same period, sanitation coverage went up from 38% to 43%. We owe
these achievements to the support from the Government of Kenya through the Ministry
of Water and Irrigation, host County Governments, development partners, Water
Service Providers and other esteemed stakeholders.

Lake Victoria South Water Services Board
Implementation of Strategic Plan 2013-17
The LVSWSB family is united by its vision of being “an effective and efficient Water
Services Board in Kenya”. Realization of this dream is guided by our corporate strategy
which defines our long term goals and means to success. In the FY 2015/16, the Board
continued to monitor implementation of its strategic plan 2013-17 to ensure realization
of water service coverage target of 63% and sanitation of 50% by June 2017. We
successfully carried out mapping of our stakeholders and relevant actors, and now we
are at advanced stage of developing investment plans for both rural and urban areas,
taking into consideration the County Integrated Development Plans.
Upholding National Values
The National Values as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution gives us
responsibility as a public institution to be at the forefront in upholding and promoting
them. These essential values have always been fundamental in guiding our corporate
and individual actions. In the FY 2015/16, the Board promoted equity and sustainable
development by ensuring fair distribution of project activities in all our host Counties.
We also championed integrity in use of public resources by partnering with responsible
national agencies such as EACC. Under good corporate governance, the Directors
expressed their commitment by signing the Mwongozo code of conduct. Moreover, the
Board continued to encourage public participation in all project activities to enhance
broader ownership and sense of responsibility.
Recruitment of Senior Managers
The Board of Directors appreciates the technical support from the Corporation‟s senior
management and the staff in general. Their synergy and mastery of individual roles and
responsibilities have indeed been reliable in shifting the Board to another higher level of
service delivery. In the FY 2015/16, the Board strengthened top management by
successfully recruiting three substantive departmental heads for Finance, Corporate
Planning and Technical Services. In addition, the Board recruited Manager in charge of
Urban Water Service Provision.
Operational Challenges
Access to clean and safe water is a subject of many challenges which we all have to deal
with in the quest of realizing the constitutional threshold enshrined in Article 43(1)(d).
Some of the challenges include trans-boundary disputes, limited cash-flows, increasing
operational costs, litigations in land acquisitions and way-leaves, and anxiety created by
delayed passage of the Water Bill. These challenges could easily be mitigated if our
concerted efforts are unified by the desire to serve Kenya and her citizens.
Annual Stakeholders Report 2015/16

National Goals
Finally, I would like to reiterate that asset development and management is
fundamental in achieving our national aspirations. Coupled with prudent service
management, it is a recipe to a vibrant water sector that can drive the Kenyan economy
towards meeting present and emerging challenges. And, we shall have contributed
immensely towards reduction of poverty, attainment of Sustainable Development Goals
and realization of Vision 2030.
With these few remarks, Ladies and Gentlemen, I strongly believe that we will continue
to work as a team and give our people the services they so urgently desire.
I NOW declare this year‟s Annual Stakeholders Conference officially Open.

ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT
Mr. Chrispine O. Juma, HSC
Ag. Chief Executive Officer - LVSWSB
I am delighted and indeed I consider this a special privilege to welcome all of you, our
esteemed stakeholders to this all-important Stakeholders Conference, which is
convened under the theme “Collaboration for Quality Water Access”. The reasoning
behind this year‟s theme is anchored on your unwavering support and our collective
thoughts that we exist for the service of others.
The FY 2015/16 marked yet another milestone for the LVSWSB as we endeavoured to
fulfil our mandate of “ensuring efficient and economic provision of water and
sanitation services in our area of jurisdiction”. In this front, we strengthened our
corporate reputation in core areas such as investment planning, project implementation
and water supply management.
The Board‟s performance commitments in FY 2015/16 were based on our Strategic Plan
2013-17, which was designed to actualize 63% water coverage and 50% coverage in
sanitation by June 2017. Through the support of the Government of Kenya and our
development partners, I am happy to report that one year before closure we are at 60%
and 43% water and sanitation coverage respectively. Our planned project activities in
the FY 2016/17 are thus geared towards meeting and even exceeding the set service
provision levels.
As a State Corporate in an essential and „development-enabler‟ sector, the LVSWSB
plays a critical role towards realization of national economic goals. Currently, we are
implementing FOUR Vision 2030 flagship projects which include Kisii Water Supply
and Sanitation Project (financed by KFW & GoK), Siaya-Bondo Water Supply and
Sanitation Project (financed by AfDB & GoK), Bonyunyu Multipurpose Dam (finance by
Annual Stakeholders Report 2015/16

Lake Victoria South Water Services Board
ORIO & GoK), and Rehabilitation and Expansion of Kisumu Sewerage Project (financed
by AFD & GoK). At completion, these projects will serve a population of 967,000 (water)
and 150,000 (sewerage) up to the year 2035.
The Board is also implementing Priority Projects in Kericho, Keroka, Isebania, Nyamira
and Litein towns under LVWATSAN II financed by AfDB and GoK. Moreover, there
are 34 projects in difference phases of implementation financed through the
Constituency Development Programme by the Government of Kenya.
To enhance water service provision in our region‟s small towns, the Board is finalizing
feasibility studies and detailed designs for 10 projects before making proposals to the
financiers. Several interventions are also ongoing in the rural areas through our
partnership with various Community Based Organizations.
In the period under review, the Board engaged itself in various Corporate Social
Responsibilities which served our specific intent of promoting access to water and
sanitation services, while at the same time executing our advocacy role in national
cohesion and upholding of national values. In this respect, the Board identified 46
public primary and secondary schools as deserving beneficiaries of 10M3 plastic water
tanks to promote rain water harvesting and storage. We also sensitized the Youth,
Women and People with Disabilities on public tendering to meet the Government
threshold of 30% reservation. In addition, we held public sessions on HIV/Aids at
various project areas to promote awareness and behaviour change.
I restate the Chairman‟s view that the water sector is prone to several challenges. And
under these challenges our expectation is to thrive. This could easily be realized in the
stability and spirit of our oneness, a reason why we convene here today.
Finally, I sincerely thank the LVSWSB Board of Directors and staff for their superior
dedication in ensuring that we perform our mandate for the benefit of the current and
future generations.
Thank you and God bless you.

Engaging and building relationships with all Board stakeholders is key to sustainably
realizing our strategic objectives. Our stakeholders include individuals, groups of
individuals and organizations that directly or indirectly affect or are affected by our
activities, services and associated performance.
The stakeholder base is broad, including Government of Kenya (through Ministry of
Water and Irrigation), regulatory authorities, County Governments, development
partners, business community, employees, media, WSPs, water consumers and general
public. This means that there are many different views and expectations that LVSWSB
needs to respond to and manage to ensure operational sustainability.

follows:
Smart Metering by acquiring and installing auto-transmission bulk-meters for
accurate and real-time monitoring of water flow to reduce human error and
NRW in Kisii and Litein towns;
Acquisition of the most advanced Terrameter for hydrogeological survey. The
equipment is available for hire by qualified hydrogeologists from the region.
Promotion of National Cohesion and National Values through equitable
distribution of development projects, public participation, and review of Board
policies in line with the requirements of Article 10(2) of the CoK;
Collaboration with EACC to audit Board‟s financial systems and sensitize
Directors and Management on integrity and corruption prevention; and
Involvement and empowerment of Youth, Women and PWDs in national
development by ensuring uptake of 30% tenders reservation.

10th Regional Nile Day celebrations on 22nd February 2016 in Vihiga County;

Board on 24th June 2016; and
African Public Service Day organized by the Ministry of Public Service, Youth

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board has identified 46 deserving public primary and secondary schools from all
the Counties under jurisdiction to benefit from 10M3 capacity plastic water-tanks in
quest of promoting rain water harvesting and storage. In addition, the Board held a
public sensitization on HIV/Aids and behaviour change at Siaya-Bondo Water Project
where residents received free status counselling.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
The Board conducted a customer satisfaction survey in June 2016 to establish the impact
of its various activities and performance in the FY 2015/16. Data were obtained by
stratification from sampled individuals and institutions having direct relationship with
the Board. Subsequent analysis showed a positive index-shift from 91% recorded in
2014 to 94%. This was attributed to widening service coverage, ongoing project
activities and visibility initiatives undertaken by the Board and its stakeholders.
CHALLENGES
The Board met the following challenges during the year under review:
Unpaid bills to contractors and suppliers due to delayed disbursement of
counterpart funds;
Low revenue mobilization from WSPs due to operational challenges;
Delay in land and way-leave acquisition. For instance, in Keroka and Isebania
Long Term Interventions (LTIs), the Board is still unable to access land for the
construction of sanitary landfill and fecal sludge treatment plants;
High operational costs and water-supply disruptions due to power
disconnections; and
Anxiety caused by delayed passage of Water Bill.

WAY FORWARD
In the FY 2016/17, the Board of Directors and Management will seek to address
identified challenges by:
Engaging national authorities to fast-track disbursement of counterpart funds;
Continue to partner with host County Governments and other stakeholders to
mitigate devolution-related challenges;
Timely acquisition of land and way-leaves through collaborative engagements
with both the County and National Governments;
Continue to embrace gravitational designs and renewable energy options to
lower operational costs; and
Review SPAs with WSPs to befit the requirements of devolved functions.
