Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja on Monday came under fire after senators revealed a massive 51 per cent loss of all the water produced in the county.
While appearing before the Senate County Public Investments & Special Funds Committee, the governor was asked to explain the massive loss in the distribution channels, which cost the city Ksh8.6 billion. "Governor, auditors say 51 per cent of water produced, worth Sh8.6 billion, simply vanished.
How do we explain this to rate-payers?" the committee chair, Godfrey Osotsi, quipped.
In his defence, the governor faulted the previous administration, claiming that he had inherited a faulty infrastructure that required an expensive overhaul.
