THE STANDARD By Kamau Muthoni | February 25th 2021 at 11:07:44 GMT +0300 A Baringo County resident has sued Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki (pictured) over a board managing water in four counties.  Laban Rotich, in a case filed before the High Court in Kabarnet, wants the court to disband the Central Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency, citing illegalities in the appointment process.  The agency is a successor of Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency, which was disbanded in 2019. In its place, the ministry split the agencies into two; Central Rift and North Rift.  Rotich argues that the current office holders of Central Rift are illegally in office, as they were allegedly not competitively recruited.
