Ruto's 40 Billion Shilling Plan to Clean Nairobi River by 2027

Nairobi River Cleanup Project: Ruto Promises Completion by January 2027 Kenya's Deputy President, William Ruto, has pledged to complete the cleanup of Nairobi River by January 15, 2027. Speaking at a recent event, Ruto emphasized the importance of this project for the city's environment and public health. The ambitious undertaking is expected to cost approximately 40 billion shillings. "This is a significant investment," Ruto stated, "but necessary to address the long-standing issues of pollution and inadequate sewage infrastructure along the river." The project involves constructing new sewage systems to prevent further contamination. Environmental groups have expressed cautious optimism, hoping the project will be completed as promised and effectively address the pollution. The success of this initiative could serve as a model for other urban areas facing similar challenges.
