By LILLIAN MUTAVIMore by this AuthorDespite receiving rainfall over the last two weeks, Nairobi residents continue to reel under an acute water shortage as the Ndakaini dam reached a low of 20 per cent. City Hall had hoped to end water rationing programme by April but this has not happened as the rains have been erratic. I travelled to Ndakaini but despite experiencing rains in the city for the last one or two weeks there are no rains in the Aberdares,” said Eng Kimori.

The county has come up with emergency measures to address water situation in the future by drilling 40 boreholes at a cost of Sh200 million.
