Nema has stumbled on concealed pipes that are draining waste in Nairobi River even as the authority warned polluters of prosecution. The authority has already flagged 148 polluters of Nairobi River who it shall charge in court. The Nairobi River traverses the memorial park named after John Michuki, the no-nonsense Kibaki administration Environment minister. This brought to 21 the number of bodies retrieved from the river in the informal settlement since the launch of the Nairobi River Restoration Project last year. It was founded two years ago with the authority of Governor Mike Sonko to clean their section of Nairobi River.
