Four governors from Kenya's Coast region have demanded the immediate disbandment of the Coast Water Board, citing its failure to address severe water shortages and inadequate infrastructure. They also threatened to evict the board's staff.

• The governors include Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir, Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung'aro, Taita Taveta Governor Andrew Mwadime, and Kwale Deputy Governor Chirema Kombo.
• The board is accused of incompetence and reluctance to repair key water infrastructures, including the Baricho water works and Tiwi pumping stations.
• A recent pipe burst at the Mzima Water Pipeline caused a two-day water disruption in Kilifi, Mombasa, Kwale, and Samburu counties, affecting thousands of residents.
