He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Many coast tourism stakeholders have in the past complained about the alleged neglect they suffered as Nairobi, the capital, was undergoing a major transformation in recent years with the new super highway to Thika and a widened highway via Athi River to the Tanzanian border at Namanga and on to Arusha.
- ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻo a ka PS ua hoʻopiʻi i kekahi mau mea pili i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa a me nā lawelawe lawelawe, ua ʻeha ʻia i kahi wai wai mai ke kahakai hema o Mombasa ma Ukunda a me Tiwi ma ke kahakai ʻĀkau o Nyali, Bamburi, a ma kahakai a hiki i Kilifi a me Malindi.
- After the improvements at the pumping station and water works, over one million people will be able to have more reliable access to safe water from the Coast Water Services Board, but growing demand would still leave only 35 percent of the coast population with access to piped water.
