PLO Lumumba, the Pan-Africanism Champion

Silencing the Guardians | Dissolution of the Kenya Water Towers Agency
After slightly more than 10 years of existence and service in rehabilitating and protecting Water Towers in Kenya, the government through the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, announced the dissolution of the Kenya Water Towers Agency in December of 2024. This was due to the agency’s lack of sound legal backing and overlapping mandates with other state parastatals.
However, this closure - according to environmentalists - was questionable. The Attorney General for instance - who is the government’s chief legal advisor - had given the green light about the existence of the agency, advising that the legal concerns that the Ministry of Environment was having in closing the agency were unfounded, staff of the agency and other key officials at the board, also desperately fought to save it, but their efforts bore no fruit.
