Where is the City Council of Nairobi?.

I guess right now they are napping as innocent Kenyans in the slum of mukuru-mariguini continue to suffer after a sewer line broke leading to polluted water paving its way into their shanties.

Can you live with feaces here and there inside your own house? I don't think so cause the smell alone will make you sick and curse heavens.

Believe me this is the situation that these fellow Kenyans have endured for the past one month.

The situation have been made worse by current weather condition as rain water mixes with this sewer water and attacks the slum causing mayhem.

The pleas to the area councilor Mr Manoah has bore no fruits although he gave the area a quick visit before disappearing into the unknown.

The residents' efforts to repair the broken sewer line were in vain although they managed to put stones here and there to stop the polluted water from getting into their humble homes especially during the rains.

“Is this a case of negligence,ignorance or just the mere fact that this is an illegal settlement?. Some of us have small children who are still breastfeeding and given the condition, they are at a greater danger. Why is the government ignoring us to such extent? Or don't we pay taxes just like all Kenyans?”. asked a bitter woman who dint want to be named.

None of the village elders or the area chief was there to give their insights or efforts regarding the issue.

The situation has affected more than 500 households in the slum.
