    “Ours was policy memo highlighting the crisis facing the water and sanitation sector in the country and the need for government to take action.

    “We highlighted the fact that urban water supply is regressing, access to improved sanitation has decreased over time that we will not be able to meet the SDGs.

    “WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) service in the rural areas are unsustainable, our share of the spending on WASH sector has declined from 0.7 per cent to 0.27 per cent of the GDP in 2010.

    “These are just very far lower than the regional value.

    “We submitted a memo to council asking them to approve an action plan that we have been working on for the past few months on how to redress these issues.
