A number of houses on riparian land in Kisii were demolished on Wednesday. The houses were constructed along River Nyakomisaro which passes in the middle of Kisii town. The car wash was demolished because the dirty water and oil from vehicles have been draining into the river. The county government has been issuing warnings that houses and businesses constructed on drainage and sewer lines will be demolished. Environment chief officer Charles Nyakweba said the move has come at the right time, not only to save riparian land but also lives of people who use the water.
