Kenya's sewerage coverage stands at just 16 per cent, and 21 counties have no sewerage system. This is the story of part of the one half of Nairobi, where only 50 per cent of residents are covered by a sewerage system. It is supposed to be disposed at the Ruai Sewerage Treatment Plant for treatment before the waste water is released into the environment. Moreover, nine per cent of waste water and 30 per cent of faecal sludge in the system is not delivered for treatment. Even when faecal matter is contained through a sewerage system, only 27 per cent is emptied.
