NAIROBI, KENYA — You spent top shilling to drill a borehole and the water coming out looks crystal clear.

As tens of thousands of Kenyan households turn to groundwater for independence, a frustrating trend is taking over kitchen taps across the country: the borehole works perfectly, but the water tastes terrible. According to the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, over 10 per cent of rural households and ...

CLEAR BOREHOLE WATER, SALTY SECRET: PUREFLEX BRINGS UNDERSINK RO SOLUTIONS TO KENYAN KITCHENS

-
Image
As more Kenyan households turn to borehole water, Pureflex Water Solutions is promoting undersink Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration systems as a targeted solution for homes experiencing salty tastes, high mineral content and stubborn scale on kitchen appliances. While borehole water may appear clear, dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium and sodium can affect its taste and contribute to scaling in kettles, coffee makers and cookware. Pureflex says its point-of-use systems are designed to treat water specifically for drinking, cooking and other kitchen needs, providing an alternative to treating an entire household water supply or relying heavily on bottled water. The company is targeting both homeowners and tenants, particularly those living in apartments supplied by shared borehole systems.

KAWAYA BACKS GOVERNMENT’S UNIVERSAL UNIVERSITY FUNDING PLAN, SAYS NO STUDENT SHOULD MISS EDUCATION OVER FEES

-

Mwala MP Vincent Kawaya has welcomed the Government’s proposed Universal Access and Funding Framework, saying it could help ensure that qualified Kenyan students access university and tertiary education regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.  Kawaya said the proposed model, which would provide Government-backed financing covering the approved cost of education, would reduce the burden on families struggling to raise fees upfront and give more young people an opportunity to pursue higher education. Speaking during the handover of a school bus to St. Mary’s Secondary School, Kithangaini, Kawaya said the proposed system would largely rely on education loans, with graduates expected to repay the loan component after completing their studies and securing employment.  He said repayments would be capped at 25 per cent of earnings, describing the reforms as an investment in Kenya’s youth and a step towards ensuring that a student’s access to univ...

The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) has warned that Kenya’s public university sector is facing a deepening crisis driven by underfunding, stalled collective bargaining negotiations, inadequate staffing, excessive workloads and growing reliance on part-time lecturers.  In a statement issued on Friday, September 18, 2026, the union said negotiations for the 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) remain unresolved, despite an agreement reached under the November 2025 Return-to-Work Formula to conclude the process before the end of last year.  UASU has now given the Government and the Inter-Public Universities Councils Consultative Forum (IPUCCF) one month to table a substantive financial counter-proposal, negotiate, sign and implement the agreement. The union also called for public university academic staff salaries to be protected through Exchequer funding, arguing that financing professors’ salaries primarily through student fees is uns...
