Two bodies of infants were on Saturday retrieved at Korogocho section of Nairobi River by a group working under Governor Mike Sonko's Ng’arisha Jiji Initiative. The bodies believed to be twins, were found wrapped in a polythene bag, raising the total number of bodies retrieved from the water body to eight since the sanitation exercise commenced. “Today morning, as my team was preparing to start cleaning part of the Nairobi River in Korogocho, we found two bodies of kids wrapped in a polythene bag. Last week, Sonko asked the police to move swiftly and investigate mysterious instances of dead bodies being retrieved from the rivers in Nairobi. The clean-up is also focused on restoring Nairobi River and its tributaries including Ngong, Mathare, Mbagathi, Kirichwa Kubwa and Kirichwa Ndogo among others.
