Residents complained that the cleaners were using open manholes as dumpsites and that the trash washes into the streets when it rains. Lazarus Maigwa said a county worker has been seen sweeping the dirt into gaping manholes and drainages along Kenyatta Avenue. Some streets and alleys behind Nation Centre have become impassable since the onset of the current rains, with the potholes filled with dirty water the rest of the pathway covered with mud. The car washers fetch their water near the mosque and from a drainage at the end of the street. These streets here are always damp and filthy,” said a hawker vending food near Mosque Road.
