MP Clement Andeleki Calls for Expansion of Water Project to Benefit All Wards in Katombola Constituency

Katombola Member of Parliament Clement Andeleki has called for the expansion of a vital water project to cover more areas within the constituency, emphasizing the pressing need for accessible clean water in all wards.

Speaking during a recent tour, Andeleki lauded the ongoing water project in Kazungula, describing it as a “wonderful” initiative that has significantly improved the lives of the local population. 

He noted that the residents of Kazungula now enjoy better access to clean water, which is crucial for their health and well-being.

“The water project in Kazungula is a game-changer for the people here. It has provided clean and safe drinking water, which is essential for the health of our communities,” Andeleki said.

However, Andeleki stressed that other wards within the Katombola Constituency, particularly Mukuni and Nyawa, are still grappling with limited access to clean water. 

He highlighted the importance of extending the water project to these areas to ensure that all residents benefit equally.

“Our people in Mukuni and Nyawa wards are still facing challenges in accessing clean water,” Andeleki stated. 

“We need to expand this project so that every ward in Katombola Constituency can have the same benefits as those in Kazungula.”

The MP’s remarks resonate with the growing concerns among residents in the constituency, who have been advocating for better water infrastructure in their areas.

 The expansion of the water project would be a significant step toward addressing these concerns and improving the overall quality of life for the people in Mukuni, Nyawa, and other wards.

Andeleki also called on the relevant authorities and stakeholders to prioritize the expansion, noting that access to clean water is a basic human right that should be guaranteed to all citizens, regardless of their location.

“Water is a basic human right, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone in this constituency has access to it,” Andeleki emphasized.

The expansion of the water project would not only improve health outcomes but also support local development by providing a reliable water supply for agriculture, sanitation, and other essential needs.

As the Katombola Constituency continues to grow and develop, Andeleki’s call for equitable access to clean water underscores the need for sustained investment in essential infrastructure projects.

 The community now looks to the authorities to take swift action and bring much-needed relief to the residents of Mukuni, Nyawa, and other wards.
