Shocking News: State House sewage bursts, see the results

There is trouble in Nairobi after the sewage from State House started spilling and this angered residents of Kileleshwa. According to residents of Kileleshwa, the sewage is being directed into Kirichwa River in Kileleshwa. This has infuriated residents in the neighbourhood.

The sewer pipe from the ‘House on the Hill’ passes above the tributary of Nairobi River. For months now, stinking sewage has been streaming into the river, much to the discomfort of residents along Githunguri Road who share the river’s riparian path with State House.

A resident told The Nairobian that, “The stench is unbearable when the waste joins the already heavily polluted river. At times, we can’t use our backyards because of the foul smell emanating from the river.” 

Residents claim that the leakage has been reported to authorities since 2015, but no action has been taken. Millions of shillings have been allocated by national and county governments to rehabilitate city rivers but pollution seems to be getting worse.
