Businesses and investments at Kenol town located in southern parts of Murang'a County are expected to intensify with the completion of a Sh1.3 billion sewer system.

The construction of the system, which commenced back in 2021 was completed last month giving locals and especially the business community and investors a hygienic environment to work in.

Kenol town, located along Nairobi - Marua highway has been ranked among the fastest-growing towns in the country considering its proximity to Thika and Nairobi.

In the town which started to develop in the early 1990s, property owners have been relying on septic tanks for waste disposal with unscrupulous residential house owners opting to empty raw sewer along rivers and abandoned quarries, thus putting residents at risk of contradicting diseases.
