Water first seeks dialogue after tribunal suspends 300% tariff increase
Residents of Eldoret led by Abubakar Bini after a meeting on the water tariffs crisis in the cityThe Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (ELDOWAS) has agreed to negotiate with stakeholders to resolve a stand off over its tariffs.The company had effected a 300 per cent increase in water tariffs, causing protests and suits from residents.The company is now seeking an out-of-court settlement of the dispute after the Water Tribunal suspended the increased tariffs until a case filed by consumers is heard and determined.ELDOWAS chief executive Lawrence Tanui has written to a consumers' agency in the city inviting them for an engagement session to look at the tariffs.“On behalf of the management of the Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company, I'm pleased to invite the Sixty Four Residents Association to a strategic engagement session on the issue so that the company can enhance service delivery for residents,” Tanui said in his letter.The engagement meeting is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.“As a primary stakeholder, your feedback is essential as we align our operations with our commitment to transparency and sustainable water management,” Tanui said.The session will focus on providing a comprehensive update on current infrastructure and service improvement projects, followed by an open forum to address the association's priorities and gather feedback.This comes after the residents of Eldoret got a reprieve two weeks ago when the Water Tribunal suspended the 300 per cent increase in water tariffs, pending the hearing and determination of a case challenging the hike.ELDOWAS had implemented the revised tariffs last year, sparking widespread protests from residents who argued the increases were unaffordable.“The upshot of the foregoing is that we find the application to be merited and order that, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal, the implementation of Gazette Notice No. 12825 dated October 4, 2024, together with its consequential effects, is suspended,” the tribunal ruled.The order effectively restored the previous tariff structure, meaning Eldowas will continue charging water and sewerage fees based on the rates in force before the contested notice was issued.“For the avoidance of doubt, the 1st respondent shall henceforth charge water tariff and sewerage charges based on the Gazette Notice in effect prior to the issuance of the impugned notice,” the ruling said.Lawyer Kaira Nabasenge, who represents the residents, said the decision was a major...
