There has been acute shortage of safe drinking water in Pipeline Estate (AA area) of Embakasi since the start of building of the bypass joining Mombasa Road from Ruiru.
There were claims the problem was occasioned by a broken water pipe at the new Uchumi Supermarket building near the roundabout of North Airport and Outering roads. The pipe was repaired but the water problem is yet to be fixed.
The situation is so severe that unscrupulous people have taken advantage to sell water from suspect sources.
Nairobi Water and Sewarage Company should intervene to save lives of residents.

Highway insecure for city pedestrians
Crossing Nairobi’s University Way is such a risky, tedious and time consuming task.
Given the busy nature of the six-lane highway, characterised by speeding vehicles, rushing students and other pedestrians, there is need for well marked pedestrians crossing at the junction around Central Police and Anniversary Towers.
Otherwise, University of Nairobi students frequenting the area could be sitting on a time bomb.
The City Council of Nairobi or the contractor who worked on the road should do the necessary to ensure pedestrians’ safety on this road.
