And here I thought we had moved from a 3rd world country to a 2nd world nation according to IMF & World bank. the exact 3rd world issues of the 80s & 90s are still with us, water rationing people dying of hunger etc. On a different note hizo issues za Ndakaini watu wa Rongai hawazifeel, coz even when it is raining you will still find donkeys hauling drums of water. God help us, it hurts now I understand why Gov Mutua was crying.

Why do police use broken down break downs to tow traffic offender's vehicles?

Apply the same answer in context and you'll know why water vending has continued to thrive as one of the most profitable business. It is also why you will never see anyone being profiled as having become a millionaire from water vending yet they are many. Like the breakdowns, you'll also notice that the water vending trucks are also run-down vehicles because it just takes the president or governor to put a stop to the cartel and they won't recoup an investment in a new vehicle. You will find more newer honey suckers than water trucks.

@FRM2011, The first feasibility study for Thwake Multipurpose dam was done in 1953 under colonial government. The second one was done in mid 1980s.

After bringing in a part financier, the civil works for Phase 1 were meant to start in June 2014 and complete in 2019 but somehow got delayed,

For your information, when the Thwake dam construction is completed to the last Phase it will have a total storage capacity equal 2.4 billion cubic metres of water for consumption, irrigation and 20MW HEP power generation.

Seychelles
Has no rivers
Borehole sinking is strictly prohibited
They never have water issues
When building a house your first thing is a water tank covering a certain percentage of your land,then build your house over that.
Now how many underground tanks are there in Nairobi
How many private boreholes

Do you know that currently with the reverse osmosis machines cheaply available it is very cheap to clean rain water runoff from your roof or driveway? The machine is designed for salty water so just cleaning rain water the filters last 50 to 100 times longer.
In the last 10 years have any of the numerous water and sewage companies built any new treatment or storage yards? Any new supply lines?anynew conservation policies? No, sometimes I even find clean water leaking allover Nairobi old supply lines.
YET HERE WE ARE CRYING ABOUT WATER
someone look up Seychelles water management,that's the way to go

Watched it on Citizen TV too
