An attempt to unblock a sewer line in Garissa town yesterday turned tragic when two workers slipped into the manhole and drowned. The two staff of the Garissa Water and Sewerage Company were among a team working on a 15m sewage line near Equity Bank blocked by garbage. “One worker had managed to unblock the sewer line but while climbing a ladder on his way out, he was swept away by sewer water,” he said. “Some of these sewer lines have not been unblocked for a long time. The workers should be extra careful when working in these deep sewer lines,” Kirina said.
