Nairobi County Government has signed a deal with the Danish Environment Protection Agency and the 2030 Water Resources Group, an affiliate wing of the World Bank to address industrial pollution.
Through a press statement sent to media houses, this will improve solid waste management in the City.
"The partnership is beneficial to Nairobi residents, who are the biggest winners and deserve an environment that will make them healthy," said Sonko.
He reiterated that the partnership between the three parties will see more funds pumped into the county to boost ongoing programs on solid waste management and industrial waste.
"As leaders, we have to be mindful of the people we serve. We have to ensure they stay healthy and wise," added Sonko.
Danish Head of Division at the Environment Protection Agency, Annette Samuelsen said he will cooperate with the County government in dealing with water pollution and challenges related to industrial waste.
She said Nairobi will benefit by learning how to sustainably treat industrial effluent at source and having a decentralized system of water treatment.
Environment Executive member Vesca Kangogo said the partnership will boost the efforts by the county government in dealing with pollution of Nairobi River and industrial effluent in general.
