There has been an outcry from Riabai residents in Kiambu who have now called on NEMA to look into the careless disposal of solid and liquid waste in the area.
They say that the stench coming from the dirty water is unbearable and the water is now becoming a mosquito breeding ground.
Several business operators are also counting losses since the stench keeps their customers away thus calling on area leaders to intervene and do something about the dirty water released in the trenches.
"Since we elected our leader who is a chancellor and put all our trust in him he has never visited this area to see how his electoratesare fairing. We are in and out of hospitals owing to polluted water and Malaria.
"We cannot sleep peacefully at night because of mosquito bites. Our leaders and responsible authorities should find better ways to drain the water. We cannot even do our business here leave alone eating nearby," said Sarah Njeri, a resident on Tuesday.
At the same time, David Kuria, a leader from Kiambu has urged residents to continue planting trees during this rainy season to minimise air pollution.
Kuria now wants every individual to plant at least five five trees while calling on churches, institutions, and organizations to educate people on the benefits of planting trees.
"I have distributed five trees to everyone and we are linking with churches, schools, and all other institutions to distribute and encourage residents here to plant more trees in their home compounds. We also have coordinators in the water companies who will help us in the tree planting campaign," Kuria said.
