Water Cabinet Secretary nominee Eric Muuga has said if approved as a CS, he will ensure that all Kenyans have access to water.
Speaking during his vetting by the National Assembly Committee on Appointments on Friday, the 32-year-old also said he will work with accountability and integrity.
Muuga said he has worked at a consulting firm where his job related to the Ministry of Water.
He specialized in water resources engineering for his Masters Degree at the University of Nairobi.
He told the Committee that he has eight to nine years of experience in water and sanitation.
“In the process of carrying out my daily activities, I have worked at all levels mostly in the private sector. I’ve worked and engaged with stakeholders to Water development works as a consultative,” he said.
Muuga said he has progressed in his career growth from being an intern to a design engineer.
Currently, the nominee said he is an assistant resident engineer and in some instances, an assistant project engineer.
Muuga said he is duly registered with the Engineers Board of Kenya as a professional engineer and with the Institution of Engineers of Kenya as a corporate member.
“During my work activities, I have developed a passion to ensure that every Kenyan in my little spot that I’ve served so far has access to water which is a human and constitutional right,” he said.
Muuga noted that service to his fellow Kenyans is service to God, adding that if given the opportunity, he would do all he can to ensure access to water for all.
