Construction of a new sewer line in Kariobangi has begun in earnest, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has said.
Sonko on Friday said the project will be fast-tracked in order to unclog the sewer line in Kariobangi North Primary which has been submerged for the last four months.
Public health officers had threatened to close down the school over the deplorable sanitation.
“Sewers in this area collapsed and stopped working including the connection for Kariobangi primary school many years ago.
This is because the sewer lines there are of diameter 150 mm which was adequate for single dwelling house but there was a change of planning and multiple dwelling was allowed leading to population growth hence overload of all the infrastructure including sewers,” Sonko wrote on his Facebook page.
