Employees of the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Limited (NWSC) have protested against a new bill before the Nairobi City County Assembly that seeks to transform NWSC into a company under the control of the county executive.

The 3,000 workers, who demonstrated in the Central Business District (CBD) before handing over their petition to the speaker of the Nairobi County Assembly, condemned the new bill that seeks to privatise the provision of water services.
