KAMPALA – The Minister for Water and Environment Sam Cheptoris has inaugurated four new NWSC Board members at the NWSC IREC building in Bugolobi.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Cheptoris expressed joy towards the excellent service delivery levels and the management of NWSC.

“I’m extremely happy with the performance of NWSC and I appreciate the strategic guidance the previous board has offered to the management team. I implore you to work towards serving more Ugandans as we work towards access to safe water for all,” he said

He called upon the new board members to use the previous success stories of the outgoing board as a foundation for exemplary performance and new frontiers at the corporation.

“Nothing was illegal about the recruitment process of the new board members as i have read in some media reports. The term of the chairperson and Vice-Chair are still running until mid this year. We followed a very rigorous vetting process to select the other new board members.” he said

NWSC Board chairman Dr.Eng Christopher Ebal welcomed the new board members. He appreciated the Minister for exercising his mandate under the water act to constitute new board members for business continuity at NWSC.

On behalf of the board, he reiterated their commitment to providing policy and strategic guidance to NWSC management.

Eng Ebal called upon the new Board of Directors to accustom themselves with the legal framework, exercise teamwork, tolerance, equitable and inclusive when implementing policies, efficient and effective in their mandate.
