A group of residents of Gatanga Constituency wants Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko arrested and prosecuted over the alleged sale of water from Murang’a without their express consent.
The residents of the constituency in Murang’a County have asked the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to arrest Mr Sonko and top managers of Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (Nawasco).
In a letter dated September 7, the complainants asked detectives to “move with speed and investigate the circumstances under which Nairobi County is selling water from Murang’a to Nairobi and Kajiado residents without the express consent from Murang’a residents”.
The letter that Mr Patrick Muigai wrote on behalf of the residents was received at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi.
The group also asked police to investigate Nairobi’s management of Ndakaini dam despite its location in Murang’a, a fact that the residents said means it belongs to them.
