The Rift Valley Water Services Board (RVWSB) is licensed by the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) to provide efficient and economical water services within its area of jurisdiction in accordance with Water Act 2002.
 

However, the Act requires that the Board provides these services through agents known as Water Service Providers (WSPs). 

In this regard, the Board appointed Nakuru Rural Water and Sanitation Company to provide water services within Nakuru County except Nakuru and Naivasha towns.
 

According to the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the provision of water services is a function of the County Governments. 

During this period of the transition process to devolution, the water sector corporate guidelines standards must continue to be incorporated in the constitutions of all water service providers.
 

The WSPs are managed by Board of Directors whose primary function is oversight – overseeing the conduct of the Company’s business so that it is effectively managed in the long-term interest of shareholders and stakeholders.

The day to day management of the WSPs is carried out by a management team headed by a Managing Director.
 

In this respect, therefore, Nakuru Rural Water and Sanitation Company intends to fill seven (7) vacant positions in the Board.
 

Background of the Directors 

The composition of the directors requires a mix of skills. 

Apart from two (2) directors from the Nakuru County Government, the other five (5) directors should be representative of the whole service area of the Company.
 

The mix of skills should be from the business and manufacturing community, professional bodies, resident organizations, women organizations and local stakeholder groups such as schools, farmers, youth groups etc.

Where possible at least three of these members shall be women, provided that the eligibility criteria below are not compromised. 

Directors will be selected in such a way as to ensure equitable geographical distribution within the service area.

Eligibility criteria
 

To be eligible, all the persons appointed to the board must be:
 

1. Literate and numerate to at least O level;
 

2. Demonstrate experience and acumen in a business or any profession for at least 5 years;
 

3. Demonstrate participation in local development initiatives;
 

4. Have experience as change management agent;
 

5. Not suppliers or other trading associates of the company;
 

6. Not persons in current professional or social relationships with directors of the company.
