ANDREW RAGE'S EXCEPTIONAL WORK AT NWWDA HAS BROUGHT HOPE AND DIGNITY

In a region often characterized by hardship, water scarcity, and underdevelopment, the impact of strong, visionary leadership cannot be overstated. One name that continues to stand tall in the hearts of many across the ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) counties is that of Mr. Andrew Rage, the Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Water Works Development Agency.Mr. Rage’s leadership is a living testament to what it means to lead with purpose, compassion, and a deep understanding of the people you serve. Through his unwavering commitment, the agency has not only implemented water projects it has brought hope, dignity, and a new sense of possibility to some of the most marginalized communities in Kenya.
From the pastoralist plains of Marsabit and Wajir to the villages of Garissa, Isiolo, and Mandera, the footprints of progress under Mr. Rage’s stewardship are visible and inspiring. Boreholes now dot areas that were once parched and forgotten. Solar-powered water systems, mega dams, and modern pipelines now serve schools, hospitals, and households with a level of reliability and dignity that was once unimaginable.
What makes Mr. Rage’s leadership truly exemplary is not just the volume of projects completed, but the spirit with which they are executed. His deep understanding of his team, local leaders, and development partners has fostered an environment of unity, accountability, and excellence. He listens, consults, and empowers always placing the needs of the community at the center of every decision.
His humility and ability to build consensus have earned him not only professional respect but genuine admiration from colleagues across counties and sectors. He has made NWWDA a model of what government agencies can achieve when driven by service, not status.
Thanks to his guidance, the agency has become a key pillar in strengthening resilience in the face of drought, reducing conflict over water resources, and enabling sustainable development across northern Kenya. Under his watch, water has become more than a basic need it has become a symbol of hope and transformation.
As residents of the ASAL counties and as Kenyans, we are grateful. Thank you, Mr. Andrew Rage, for showing that even in the harshest conditions, excellence is possible. Your leadership is lighting the way forward.
