Preamble
The water sector in Kenya is undergoing major reforms aimed at improving the overall management of the sector. The reforms are premised on the National Policy on Water Resources Management and Development of 1999 and the Water Act 2002.
These instruments have set up institutional and regulatory framework embracing broader principles of decentralization, participation, autonomy, sustainability and efficiency in service delivery.

The Athi Water Services Board, therefore, is seeking to recruit a qualified, visionary and dynamic professional to the position of Chief Executive Officer.
