When Kibos Sugar and Allied Industries Limited was established in 2008, Kisumu residents had high hopes of employment and improved living standards after the collapse of Miwani Sugar Company. The hardest hit institutions are Kibos Prison, Kibos School for the Blind and Kibos Primary School. A spot check by the Star on River Kibos last week established a highly polluted river with its waters turned to black. Residents in Kisumu East and Muhoroni said there is a constant emission of raw effluent into River Kibos. The authority said they have received many complaints from Kibos residents and the county government.
