Alarm as Mombasa spews raw waste into Indian Ocean

What you need to know:

  • Kizingo Sewerage Treatment Plant, which was constructed two decades ago with a design capacity of 10,000m3 per day, is out of service. 
  • In his 2020 State of the County Address, Governor Hassan Joho acknowledged sanitation coverage in the devolved unit was wanting.  

As big waves and high tides sweep across the Indian Ocean, huge piles of garbage are daily washed ashore at the Kenyan Coast. 

In the Old Town area, sewage pipes discharge wastewater directly into the ocean, causing health risks to both human and marine life.
