Few days ago, we all witnessed Machakos governor Alfred Mutua closing down companies polluting River Athi, now just like his counterpart,Nairobi governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has directed the closure of 25 companies  polluting Nairobi River.

Speaking while  supervising the on-going clean up exercise of Nairobi River dubbed “Ngarisha Jiji”, Sonko accused the companies of discharging effluent and other harmful chemicals into the river despite several warnings.

‘‘Those  companies releasing their chemicals and waste in to Nairobi must be closed  immediately we are not going to allow them to continue operating.’’ Sonko noted.

To emphasize his point, Mike Sonko took to his facebook page to issue a sterning warning to polluters of Nairobi river.

“My government together with other Gov’t agencies including NEMA shut down at least 25 factories which discharge effluent into Nairobi river. Other three factories to be shut down this evening”He wrote.


He further directed closure of all hospitals fond of carrying out illegal abortions  be shut down and their licences cancelled.

According to Sonko his government  will not sit down and watch rogue health facilities joking  with human life and disposing  bodies into the river.

Nairobi City County Environment  Minister Veska Kangogo  and Chief Officer security and compliance Tito Kilonzi have been tasked by the governor to ensure the directives are effected  promptly without delays.

Nairobi county government has so far retrieved more than three bodies from Nairobi river a clear indication that  it is being used as a dumping site of aborted babies and even newborns.
