State steps up efforts to provide Nairobi with enough water by 2035
Ongoing construction of Karimenu II Dam in Kiambu County. Once complete, the dam is expected to add 23,000 cubic metres of water supply to Nairobi County.
The quest to provide enough water for all Nairobi residents is turning out to be a race against time, with the government keen on delivering on the grand plan by 2035.
The plan requires that the State ensures all ongoing water projects are finished in time and that adequate funding is available. It also calls for an effective plan to fight water sector cartels besides minimising wastage.
