Water, Sanitation and Irrigation Chief Administrative Secretary Andrew Tuimur said the government is committed to improving water and sanitation in Kibera
The projects will also create jobs for more than 200 youths through the Mazingira Programme.
The national government has embarked on a Sh500 million project to improve water and sanitation in the informal settlement of Kibera in a bid to end the “flying toilets” menace.
“Flying toilets” is a euphemism for the unsanitary habit of defecating in plastic bags and flinging the waste onto rooftops, a practice that is common in Kibera. The Nairobi Regeneration Programme will execute the initiative.
