The County Government of Kitui has successfully completed the construction of the Karumu Sump Well in Kangingo Village, Tseikuru Ward, during the 2024/2025 financial year. The project was implemented under the leadership of Governor Dr. Julius Makau Malombe as part of ongoing efforts to improve access to clean and reliable water in arid and semi-arid areas of the county.
