The Handing Over Ceremony of the construction of Ahero drainage project funded by the Financing Locally –Led Climate Action(FLLoCA), a world bank program set to enhance sewerage system in Ahero Town was held on the 8th of January at the Ahero Townhall.
The ceremony was convened by the County climate change directorate led by the CEC Member Madam Judith Aluoch together with Hon. Kennedy Ooko MCA Ahero Ward and Leader of Majority in the County assembly. The CEC Member urged the contractor to do quality work as specified in the Bill of Quantities. In so doing, Madam Oluoch directed the contractor to have at least 80% of the labor force coming from within Ahero engaged in casual work.
While addressing the community during the site handover meeting for the construction of Ahero drainage, Madam Aluoch informed members about the FLLoCA projects that focuses on local solutions to climate change having a community adaptation and mitigation action plans henceforth resulting into improved service delivery. She appreciated FLLoCA for delivering locally led climate resilience actions to manage climate risks. She then asked the WCCPC to help the contractor get rightful people of integrity to do the casual work.
The meeting also brought together members of the Ward Climate ChangePlanning Committee (WCCPC) and the community members who embraced the project and are looking forward to the start of the construction. They also tasked the contractor to embrace the Project management committee led by community members in their construction works.
The constriction of the Ahero drainage system is one of the many climate change resilient investment projects funded by the World bank FLLoCA initiative. So far 24 more projects are set for site handing over in this quarter each in every ward in the county.
