Ushiriki Wema Foundation, in collaboration with Regner Fu Capital Group (RFCG) and the National Police Service (NPS), handed over two fully functional boreholes on July 23, 2025—one at the General Service Unit (GSU) Campus in Embakasi “B” and another at the Administration Police (AP) Campus in Embakasi “A”.
The double commissioning, which unfolded under the banner of the ‘Kuzingatia Mazingira Yetu’ initiative, marks a bold step forward in efforts to enhance access to clean water while supporting sustainable, people-focused policing. The environmental and social partnership has steadily grown since its launch in 2023.
The ceremony was led by Madam Tessie Musalia (MBS), Chairperson of the Ushiriki Wema Foundation, who was accompanied by the Regner Fu Capital Group team led by Mr. Kent Kagicha, Head of Business at RFCG. Also present were Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and senior police officials.
“Security and community welfare are two sides of the same coin,” said Madam Musalia as she addressed officers and guests. “A project like this reminds us that service is mutual and that trust can be maintained through tangible partnerships.”
She commended the GSU for its historic and selfless service to the nation. “From saving lives in Solai to protecting wildlife in Tsavo and mediating conflict in the North Rift, GSU officers are always on the frontlines,” she said. “Investing in clean water is not just about health it’s about dignity, productivity, and resilience.”
The twin boreholes are expected to transform daily life for hundreds of officers, significantly easing the long-standing water shortages within both police campuses.
Speaking during the event, RFCG Head of Business Mr. Kent Kagicha expressed his satisfaction at seeing the initiative come to life. “I’m happy to be here today to witness the handing over of these boreholes,” he said.
Kagicha, who has been instrumental in several RFCG-led partnerships with organizations such as the Ushiriki Wema Foundation, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting public service and sustainability. “At RFCG, we believe development must go hand in hand with dignity, and today’s handover is proof of that.”
Madam Musalia also announced a new clean energy phase to the partnership. “RFCG will now roll out clean, cost-saving solar energy to all nine police colleges across the country,” she said. “This will come at zero capital expenditure to the National Police Service and will help reduce operational costs while championing environmental responsibility.”
Inspector General Douglas Kanja welcomed the initiative, saying, “This borehole is not just a donation; it is a symbol of what can happen when institutions work together. Clean water means health. And a healthy police force is a more effective police force.”
Kanja further tied the project to broader national and global frameworks. “Access to clean water is a constitutional right under Article 43(1)(d) and aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal Six,” he emphasized.
He also pointed to the growing importance of the Police Water Unit, which plays a critical role in protecting water-related infrastructure from vandalism and resource-based conflicts—threats that continue to emerge in water-scarce regions.
