Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa (L) and Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko (R) in Nairobi. [PHOTO/Standard]Nairobi governor Mike Sonko is planning to tackle the water shortage menace in the county by drilling boreholes.
Sonko said his government will sink at least one borehole in every ward to end perennial shortage.
Speaking at a meeting when he met officials from the national government, the governor said the project will be achieved through the equalisation fund.
“We agreed to request the National Government through the equalisation fund to subsidize water to the citizens in the informal sector within Nairobi City County," Sonko said as quoted by the Standard.
The county receives a daily water supply of 520 million litres against the demand of 750 million litres.
