Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko now wants police to move swiftly and investigate mysterious instances of dead bodies being retrieved from Nairobi River. I have called the police from the neighborhood and they are assisting my people to remove the body from the river,” Sonko said. The Ngarisha Jiji initiative was launched last year by Governor Sonko and Nairobi County First Lady Primrose Mbuvi as part of the Nairobi regeneration exercise. The clean-up is focused on restoring Nairobi River and its tributaries including Ngong, Mathare, Mbagathi, Kirichwa Kubwa and Kirichwa Ndogo among others. Last month, Sonko ordered the Nairobi Inspectorate Department to arrest individuals and industrial firms polluting Nairobi rover and its tributaries.
